Comment # 2 on bug 52411 from 
I've been seeing this also, with the latest kernel that I could run being
3.3.8. Today I did some more digging, and it appears that the last line is
actually a red herring. For some reason not all printk's actually make it to
the screen. Perhaps the video card is getting confused by something and stops
printing lines at some point.

In any case I found out that my problem actually seems to be listed in this
unsolved bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=832548

I've "fixed" things on my end my by simply skipping all the nouveau perf
entries in nouveau_perf_init in nouveau_perf.c. (I added continue right within
the while loop). Obviously this doesn't get me any performance levels, but at
least things don't crash, and other than that the card seems to work as
expected.

I'd be happy to provide more information if needed, just let me know what you
need.

I've got the exact same card as the OP:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600] (rev
