Oops, forgot the ever-important hardware description. Lenovo thinkpad t410 with nvidia nvs quadro 3100. I don't see how the vmalloc failure of the NVIDIA binary driver can possibly be related. You're running a 32-bit kernel, and NVIDIA GPUs have *massive* amounts of register space. With a lot of devices, the kernel will quickly run out of places to map them. The corrupt graphics with nouveau on reboot are more than likely the older version of nouveau not being able to deal with some residual state the new version sets up, that a warm reset does not fix. Anyhow, are you able to capture some information on the kernel panic you're seeing, as well as dmesg output and /var/log/Xorg.0.log before it panics. For the OS on my hard drive (Fedora 13): I've got the nvidia binary working again, but only for one kernel on my system. It fails for one, and isn't available for the other. Nouveau doesn't work on any right now. When I boot nouveau, it never boots it graphical. Although it changes the resolution and does display the pretty shutdown screen (not the pretty boot one though). For Fedora 15 test day live cd: Seems to work for a while but intermittently locks up. I haven't seen the kernel panic since the first time, but every time it boots I get 'BIT loadval' errors, like Bug 630765. I've attached the output of /var/log/messages, dmesg, and Xorg.0.log. I also managed to get both rendercheck to run and test xv one time (it worked), so I have that as well. Created attachment 481505 [details]

Just tried out the Fedora 15 Alpha 64-bit live cd. No crashes yet, but same error. I attached the new boot log. Also, I've been getting some graphical glitches occasionally. A few examples: parts of text missing, like someone dragged the eraser through the middle of a line of text and also the gnome login window having different blocks of dark gradient over its normally light background.

Fedora 15 Alpha Boot Log
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
