Are you testing on a system where the GeForce 8600 GTS is a secondary GPU and
not initialized by VBIOS?
If I'm booting on GF as primary GPU nouveau gets along with it. It's in the
case I'm booting on the radeon (and GF is thus left alone by BIOS) that things
are broken. Modprobe nouveau works, writing to its /dev/fb1 seems to work as
well (though monitor connected to GF via VGA cable sees no signal).
Launching kmscon freezes the whole system:
kmscon --drm --gpus=all -v --debug
