Hello,
I have HP Z400 desktop computer running in x86_64 mode with a fedora 12 installed on it. The computer has an nvidia (NV96) card, for which I am using the nouveau driver.
Everything (meaning 2D acceleration) was working fine up to kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22, and when fedora updated to 2.6.32.xxx (now kernel-2.6.32.11-99) it stopped working. I also tried a vanilla 2.6.33.3 and it doesn't work either (I wouldn't dream bothering LKML without trying a vanilla kernel...) Here are the symptoms: when X is launched, the computer reboots instantaneously to the BIOS greeting screen, leaving the computer in such a state that the BIOS is enable to work (it never reaches grub, but keeps on rebooting after a few seconds). Shutting down the computer is necessary to recover. I have no useful log as the buffer have not been flushed: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is found empty on the next reboot.
I filled a bug with fedora with more info (dmesg, lspci) on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=578108 but I had zero response.
So to sum up: 2.6.31.12 + fedora patches is working 2.6.32.xx + fedora patches is crashing horribly 2.6.33.xx vanilla is crashing in the same way.
Does that count as a regression ? I am a little bit at a loss as how to provide debugging information on that one.
Thanks,
