dmesg log

Nvidia GTA 240 card (NVA3) locks up at the very beginning of the boot process.
Kernel is booted with vga=0 parameter but it doesn't affect lock up.

You can see in dmesg log:
[    2.410505] [drm] nouveau 0000:04:00.0: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon

Adding 'nouveau.vram_pushbuf=1' to kernel parameters help a bit for my NVA5, but it's till far from perfect: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39988

Maybe you should try.

Unfortunately, 'nouveau.vram_pushbuf=1' doesn't help at all. The lockup is still there.

I've tested this again with current freedesktop.org git kernel and this card still locks up at boot.

Still a problem on my GT240. I get screen corruption when X starts up. The card is fanless.
