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.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
