           Summary: System doesn't boot with GTX 550 Ti
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: >3.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocking
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
        AssignedTo: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: artkun@guitarplayer.ru
        Regression: Yes


My hardware is:
ASUS P5KPL-AM SE, C2D E8500, GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

The problem is that with kernel newer than 3.2 (including 3.3 in Fedora 17), my
system doesn't boot at all. I'm using nouveau and have no proprietary nvidia
modules installed.
With 3.2, I'm getting nothing but "Loading initial ramdisk" on the screen, but
HDD LED is blinking and when I press the Power button on my PC, the system
turns off as it's supposed to.
But with 3.3 (in Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 12.04 with Canonical patched kernel), the
system doesn't boot at all. After "Loading initial ramdisk" the monitor turns
off, and nothing happens. HDD doesn't do anything.
This happens even without xf86-video-nouveau installed (i've tried Arch).

With kernel 3.1.9, my graphics card still works perfect, with a good 3D
acceleration. GNOME 3 works perfect too.

I'm sorry for my English.

Same problem here.
Same graphic card, and nouveau driver.
I'm using Fedora 16.

With kernel 3.1.10-2 works fine.
With kernels 3.2.x don't work.

It worked for me in Fedora 16 with 3.2.10-2 kernel but, don't support for dual
screen configuration and GNOME 3 only works in fallback mode.

It worked for me as well with kernel 3.3.0, but with the wrong display
resolution, and GNOME Shell was really slow.

I have had the same problem with the 3.2 series on Slackware64 (I haven't tried
3.3)
Lenovo T520 laptop
Intel i7 2720QM CPU
Nvidia NVS 4200M

but I am not using the nouveau driver, but the proprietary nvidia driver which
I think hasn't got the time to get loaded before the system freezes.

I have tried booting with both nouveau and nvidia blacklisted in console mode
and still get the same behaviour.

As mention in comment #4, acpi=off noapic allows normal boot but it is really
not practical on a laptop.

3.1.2 works fine (I haven't tried the more recent versions of the 3.1.x
series).

Did you try to install proprietary driver and boot with "rdblacklist=nouveau
nouveau.modeset=0"? My system works fine with these boot flags, at least with
3.3

Thanks for the suggestion, however it doesn't work for me on 3.2.13. I haven't
had the time to compile 3.3 yet.

I don't think this bug related to this particular card. I use GeForce 8600GT
and, most likely, have the same issue with vanilla kernel 3.3 on Gentoo. Almost
instantly after I select a menu entry in bootloader I'm getting
corrupted/flashing screen and nothing more. Though I didn't try acpi=off and
noapic options. One more note, I'm able successfully kexec to 3.3 after initial
boot to 3.2.x kernel. After kexec everything works fine with the 3.3 kernel.
Hopefully this helps understanding this problem.

I am not sure if this bug report is still live but having just updated my
machine to the latest slackware64-current kernel (3.2.21), I am still getting
my system to hang half way through the booting sequence. As previously, the
only thing that can be done at that point is to hard reset.

My laptop has a dual graphics card and switching to the intel embedded one in
the BIOS makes the system boot fine, but switching to the nvidia one makes the
system unable to boot unless ACPI is switched off.

I am still able to boot fine with kernels 3.1.x and below.

ArTourter, for me, in Fedora 18 (Kernel 3.4.2) solves the problem.

Hi,

I have just compiled 3.4.4 and I still get exactly the same hang/freeze with
ACPI active.

Any clues about how to get sensible error report out of this would be useful.

I had the same issue again after 3.2 kernel with 3.4.0. However at least
vanilla 3.4.3 boots fine again.
