Ben,

kernel -112 worked, with -115 it hangs, so it's a regression. The changelog shows
these changes by you in -114:

- nouveau: provide info userspace needs to handle low memory situations
- nouveau: fix for rh#532711
- nouveau: add option to provide more debug info for rh#532579
- patch only so large because of included register rename

From the kdm.log:

[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

with kernel 2.6.31.5-113.fc12.x86_64 not hangs

Are you absolutely certain it's the kernel?  I've just looked over the patch again that went into -115, there's nothing I can see that's even remotely relevant.

I tried 2.6.31.5-117.fc12.x86_64 with KMS X hangs without KMS X start normal

Martin,
are you 100% sure that when you boot with the -113 kernel (which does not hang), it runs with KMS? Could you provide dmesg from it?

Created attachment 367536 [details]
dmesg on 117

dmesg from 117 without KMS

Created attachment 367538 [details]
dmesg on 113

dmesg from -113 with KMS

Once it's finished building, can you update to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=139823 (kernel-2.6.31.5-122.fc12) and retry.

Thanks!

I had the same problem after updating this morning. X would crash for me at login with this backtrace:

The new kernel (122) fixes it.

Ben,

the tag f12-final now contains kernel-2.6.31.5-117.fc12 which has this bug. What will be the impact if F12 is released with this kernel? Will this bug affect all nvidia cards or only a few models? Will the bug be triggered by the default settings on the final live CDs? Is 'nomodeset' a safe workaround?

kernel -122 works

I can see -122 got into today's Rawhide. Excellent. Thanks.

I'm seeing this message with F12 (just upgraded to F11) kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64, although X is running.  However, whenever I click the KDE menu the system hangs completely for a minute or two before picking up as though nothing had happened...

Oops - forgot to mention I'm using the NVIDIA proprietary driver from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing, and not nouveau...

"Need Real Name",
The symptoms you describe are caused by a known bug in the Nvidia proprietary driver when used with current Xorg. Fedora developers cannot fix bugs in proprietary drivers.
