Summary: System doesn't boot with GTX 550 Ti Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: >3.2 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: blocking Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) AssignedTo: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org ReportedBy: artkun@guitarplayer.ru Regression: Yes
My hardware is: ASUS P5KPL-AM SE, C2D E8500, GeForce GTX 550 Ti.
The problem is that with kernel newer than 3.2 (including 3.3 in Fedora 17), my system doesn't boot at all. I'm using nouveau and have no proprietary nvidia modules installed. With 3.2, I'm getting nothing but "Loading initial ramdisk" on the screen, but HDD LED is blinking and when I press the Power button on my PC, the system turns off as it's supposed to. But with 3.3 (in Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 12.04 with Canonical patched kernel), the system doesn't boot at all. After "Loading initial ramdisk" the monitor turns off, and nothing happens. HDD doesn't do anything. This happens even without xf86-video-nouveau installed (i've tried Arch).
With kernel 3.1.9, my graphics card still works perfect, with a good 3D acceleration. GNOME 3 works perfect too.
I'm sorry for my English.
