The standard ways of getting rid of the nouveau driver (up to Fed 17) do not seem to work anymore in Fed 18: add 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub (and/or add 'blacklist nouveau' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf) and then run grub2-mkconfig and dracut. The only way I found to change initramfs with dracut was to use 'dracut --omit-drivers nouveau' but this does not survive a kernel update. How should this be done in Fed 18 or are there bugs in grub2-mkconfig and/or dracut. Any special considerations when booting UEFI (grub2-efi). I need this because I am using 'bbswitch' to shutdown the discrete nvidia in an optimus laptop (2x longer battery live and machine runs much cooler).

Try 'nouveau.disable=1' in place of 'rdblacklist=nouveau'. -Mike -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
