(I meant KDUMP instead of KDB within the above paragraph.) Interesting. I've recompiled this kernel to include the drm & nouveau as modules. (I also added KDUMP along with RELOC.) The modules seem to be loading and activating framebuffer console mode now without freezing, while also enabling AGP mode. I was anticipating to use/activate KDUMP dump kernel after loading the drm & nouveau modules which trigger the freeze when AGP is enabled. Seems like this bug is halfway worked out? -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
