Created attachment 135065 [details] dmesg output In my PowerMac G5 11,2 I am running a Geforce 6600 MAC Edition (which works), and added a GeForce GT 430 as a 2nd card. It seems this card does not get initialized properly: [...] Okt 26 15:46:33 T801 kernel: nouveau 0001:06:00.0: fifo: PBDMA0: 00004000 [] ch 1 [003fe11000 DRM] subc 0 mthd 0000 data 44dc3569 Okt 26 15:46:33 T801 kernel: nouveau 0001:06:00.0: fifo: PBDMA0: 00204000 [ILLEGAL_MTHD] ch 1 [003fe11000 DRM] subc 0 mthd 0004 data 39e65d54 Okt 26 15:46:33 T801 kernel: nouveau 0001:06:00.0: fifo: PBDMA0: 00204000 [ILLEGAL_MTHD] ch 1 [003fe11000 DRM] subc 0 mthd 000c data 2bd98280 Okt 26 15:46:33 T801 kernel: nouveau 0001:06:00.0: fifo: PBDMA0: 00004000 [] ch 1 [003fe11000 DRM] subc 0 mthd 0018 data e384a768 Okt 26 15:46:33 T801 kernel: nouveau 0001:06:00.0: fifo: PBDMA0: 00004000 [] ch 1 [003fe11000 DRM] subc 0 mthd 001c data 8e86bf68 Okt 26 15:46:33 T801 kernel: nouveau 0001:06:00.0: fifo: read fault at cd90f4d000 engine 07 [PFIFO] client 07 [BAR_READ] reason 00 [PT_NOT_PRESENT] on channel 1 [003fe11000 DRM] Okt 26 15:46:33 T801 kernel: nouveau 0001:06:00.0: fifo: fifo engine fault on channel 1, recovering...

Can you grab dmesg from the beginning, and boot with nouveau.debug=trace? Try increasing the kernel log buffer, or send it over netconsole or something. Note that no one has gotten this to work in the past (although few have tried with any level of persistence). I believe at last report, the issue was something to do with the color LUT being set up wrong, although that's clearly not your present issue.
Thanks for your fast reply! Yes, seems I messed this up... Here is now the dmesg from beginning and another one with nouveau.debug=trace.

(In reply to erhard_f from comment #4) > Created attachment 135071 [details] > dmesg output This log appears to only capture kernel messages logged at the 'error' level.

(In reply to erhard_f from comment #6) > Created attachment 135072 [details] > dmesg output with nouveau.debug=trace And this one appears to *only* have logs at the debug level or something else odd. I'm not sure what you're doing ... but I just want the same output that 'dmesg' might output. I think you're fighting some logging system which thinks it knows better... I wish you the best of luck with that.
Sorry, but that's the best I can do at the moment... When booting up the console gets flooded with debug messages, logging in is only possible afterwards. The dmesg > kernel_debug-log.txt I create at that time does not show the boot process from the beginning but only repeats: [ 18.488344] nouveau: DRM:00000000:00000000: ioctl: size 48 [ 18.488346] nouveau: DRM:00000000:00000000: ioctl: vers 0 type 04 object c000000459bba070 owner ff [ 18.488347] nouveau: DRM:00000000:00000080: ioctl: mthd size 24 [ 18.488348] nouveau: DRM:00000000:00000080: ioctl: mthd vers 0 mthd 01 [ 18.488350] nouveau: DRM:00000000:00000080: ioctl: device mthd 00000001 [ 18.488351] nouveau: DRM:00000000:00000080: ioctl: device time size 16 [ 18.488352] nouveau: DRM:00000000:00000080: ioctl: device time vers 0 [ 18.488356] nouveau: DRM:00000000:00000000: ioctl: return 0 even if the log buffer ist set to 4M. As an alternative I can only offer the ouput of systemd's journalctl -k.

Hm, unfortunately nouveau.debug=debug did not improve things enough to get a log from the beginning. But after reading through https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/ and configuring it journald with: #ForwardToWall=no #MaxFileSec=1h #MaxRetentionSec=1month #RateLimitIntervalSec=0 #RateLimitBurst=0 #Storage=persistent #SyncIntervalSec=20 #SystemMaxUse=1G #RuntimeMaxUse=1G I managed to get what I think is a full log from the beginning with nouveau.debug=trace with hopefully all the information needed. There's other stuff in it, but if you filter the "kernel" lines only this should be same output as dmesg. Please have a look at it. If this log is still not helpful I hope I will manage to get this netconsole thingy running...
Created attachment 135083 [details] journalctl -b output with nouveau.debug=trace
(In reply to erhard_f from comment #11) > Created attachment 135083 [details] > journalctl -b output with nouveau.debug=trace Success! (I think. At least much more success than previous times.)
It seems kernel 4.15_rc2 did change things a bit. Looks like the card now gets initialized and I can seemingly successfully start X. But still I only get so see a black screen ('No signal' on the monitor).
