Fwd: Nouveau problem in F-16

[ergodic <gmml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wish you and yours a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving.

Just finished updating F-16.  The update rendered the system inoperable.  Will re-install an test.

Will keep you informed.

I have been using Fedora since Version 3.  I think that F-16 was rushed out without  lacking sufficient testing.
The QA standards should be raise.

Cheers

Thanks for your quick reply.
I have not tried it.   Anyway  I will give it a try and let you know. ( Work will keep me away until tomorrow).
It is a shame that this type of issues are ignored.  Many potential users are turned away when their first run after installation locks up the box requiring a hard reboot
Thanks again.

Nouveau problem. Multi-booting F-15 and F-16.  Nouveau works perfectly in in F15, but it does not wok in F-16.  I have filed a bug against it (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755336). 

Excerpts from  bug report:
-Four clean install attempts
-The first boot crashes the system after the request to send hardware
information. A hardware reset is needed to recover. Restarts in VESA mode only.
-Installing nVidia proprietary drivers in F-16 allows Gnome3 operation.

Have anyone had a similar experience?  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Did you try setting nouveau.noaccel=1  on the kernel line?  I had problems with the nouveau drivers, posted repeatedly to bugzilla, but no luck.  Only turning off acceleration for nouveau seemed to let me run at all, but even then I would experience the occasional crash.
