Description Vincent Lefevre 2010-05-17 01:02:33 UTC 
Created attachment 35703 [details]
kernel logs (compressed with bzip2)

Using a HP Z800 with NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295, under GNU/Linux (Debian/unstable with linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64, the first kernel image using the nouveau driver):

When I boot, the screen goes black after a few lines and the monitor goes to sleep. Some time after (once X has started, I assume) the monitor wakes up, but with a corrupt image.

The machine is still accessible by SSH. Otherwise one cannot do anything except switching it off.

I've attached the beginning of the logs (compressed). Then I got the same message (thousands of times a second) until I switched off the machine:

  [drm] nouveau 0000:0f:00.0: PFIFO_INTR 0x00000010 - Ch 1

The problem disappears after blacklisting "nouveau" (and rebooting).

Bug also reported on the Debian BTS:

Any news? FYI, the bug still occurs with an up-to-date Debian/unstable installation. The screen goes black a bit after the message

  waiting for /dev to be fully populated

appears on the screen.

This is fixed in nouveau git.
