Steps to reproduce: 1. Boot the computer Expected behaviour: User expects to reach the login prompt. Actual behaviour: X Server fails to start History: Updated to latest kernel on Fedora 17 x86_64: Linux version 3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 (mockbuild-pT0yeVfQFYmUpIjiNHrHsa8bZ1dH7QcMqApY+AHhFKvYtjvyW6yDsg@public.gmane.org) (gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon Jul 30 14:48:59 UTC 2012 Rebooted Saw fedora begin to boot up, but instead of being presented with a login screen I saw noise/leftover images from previous boot X server terminated and I saw some nouveau errors on screen: [ 43.155163] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PFIFO - playlist update failed [ 53.020045] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Failed to idle channel 1.

[ 64.016807] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PFIFO - playlist update failed The screen then went back to noise/leftovers for a few seconds, then displayed those error messages again in sequence This continued endlessly until I boot with the previous kernel. Hardware information: The model is a GTX 580m. According to the wiki, this is an NVCE (GF114). sudo lspci -v | less found this: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1211 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 7100 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M] Memory at e8000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] I/O ports at e000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at f6000000 [disabled] [size=512K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [b4] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 Kernel driver in use: nouveau Attached files: messages.txt This is the kernel log from the boot with the new kernel. The Fatal X server error and the PFIFO errors can be found near the end of the log. If I had let the computer keep running, the last few messages would have looped, presumably endlessly.
