--- Comment #5 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> ---
The only thing I can think of is the vesafb usage. However I thought there was
a mechanism for us to kick out such a driver. But perhaps not, and perhaps it
broke somehow. Can you try not booting with video=?

Also, perhaps something's VERY wrong with the device, s.t. something fails very
early in nouveau's attempts -- try loading nouveau with

debug=trace (or, if putting into the kernel cmdline, nouveau.debug=trace)

which should spam the kernel log pretty hard.
