gp104 refuses to switch to "graphic" mode and show anything past
this line:

	fb0: switching to nouveaufb from EFI VGA

Machine is fine, as it I can press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and reboot it
normally.

5.5 is OK. 5.6 is broken.
Bisecting is kinda painful with miscompilation and init/main.c breakage.

BTW do I need all those megabytes of firmware?

Hi Alexey,

I've heard some issues relating to missing firmware lately. It should
work fine without firmware, but perhaps that got broken. Can you log
into the machine and check dmesg to see what's there? My guess is that
nouveau takes over from efifb, and then fails to load at some point in
the middle.

This is necessary to provide any sort of acceleration. Otherwise this
is just a dumb scanout engine. You only need the firmware for your
chipset, not all of it.

I've fixed the issue by including all firmware until "failed to load"
messages disappeared. X works and fbconsole on VT1-VT6 works too.

Ben -- another report of firmware-less load being broken on v5.6.

Alexey -- If you compile nouveau as a module, then these can live on
your filesystem or initrd, depending on your boot process.
