Ahh, I think I've had that bug too.  Basically I'd power the laptop on and the
machine would get as far as loading drivers then hang.  I had it on my TODO
list to eventually track down which driver, but lately I've noticed this has
stopped happening.

So slowly we're getting the upper hand in this fight.

It's a pity that Nvidia don't direct more resources to supporting the Nouveau
driver.  I've vowed to never buy an Nvidia card again due to their poor support
of their cards.  (I don't consider a proprietary driver as "support", more a
cop-out and a support head-ache.)

It's thanks to teams like Nouveau that I can make reasonable use of the two
Nvidia-based systems I have at all.
For this, I thank-you.
