i2cdetect output has both 0x54 and 0x56. But I've stuck on getting vbios
images.
# nvagetbios -s PROM >vbios.rom

gives me the error you've mentioned:

> Attempt to extract the vbios from card 0 (nv86) using PROM
> Invalid signature(0x55aa). You may want to try another retrieval method.
>

and adding string (without quotes) "nouveau.vbios=ACPI" to kernel options
doesn't work at all. GRUB2 shows me error:

> alloc magic is broken at 0xdfbdbc50
> Aborted. Press any key to exit.

Nouveau already works MUCH better than proprietary driver for my tasks.
Thanks a lot for that! Please help me to help you.
