Description of problem:

Hello,

Booting 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 on F15 Alpha, I don't get any nouveau support.  As a result I run X in Vesa mode...

The same setup used to work perfectly fine with F14.

Here's what the kernel says:

So it looks like we fail here (drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_object.c:210):

                ret = instmem->get(gpuobj, size, align);
                if (ret) {
                        nouveau_gpuobj_ref(NULL, &gpuobj);
                        return ret;
                }

It now says:

[    1.078983] [drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: Detected 64MiB VRAM

Before it was:

[    1.035872] [drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: 64 MiB GART (aperture)

Please post the complete boot messages (contents of /var/log/dmesg after bootup) from both the old and new kernels, as separate plain-text attachments.
Comment 3 Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer 2011-04-03 19:13:23 UTC 
By old kernel you mean F14?  With debug on or?

There you go, kernel logs from F14 and F15...
Comment 8 Chuck Ebbert 2011-04-07 23:37:55 UTC 
OK, there's nothing there about GART failing to load in the F15 kernel.
Comment 9 Ben Skeggs 2011-04-07 23:56:27 UTC 
Oh, interesting.  I wasn't aware there were any PCIE nv30 boards around, I believe I know what's going on here, will look into a fix today.
Comment 10 Ben Skeggs 2011-04-08 04:50:44 UTC 
The kernel that's now building at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2983205 should fix the issue, hopefully!

Please let me know :)
Comment 11 Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer 2011-04-08 05:05:53 UTC 
I'm waiting for it! :-)  I'll let you know asap.
Comment 12 Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer 2011-04-08 06:28:40 UTC 
Success!  It works...  Now I'll have to look at your patch to see what you changed...  Ok gnome 3 doesn't work at all with it but at least I got my screens back!

Thanks,
