Can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log from a boot with 3.14.4?

Hi, If I'm not wrong, this issue is still here with Fedora 20 (at least from liveUSB) and 21. With Fedora 21 Gnome, GDM does not even appear (Fedora logo stays on screen). With Fedora 20 live with KDE, the desktop appears but is not usable because of heavy image corruption. Fedora 21 Gnome is usable with nomodeset kernel parameter (1024x768 maximum, basic colors). With a live Xubuntu 14.04, it works well. I also have a line like this in my dmesg : "nouveau E[ DRM] GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon" Do not hesitate to ask if I can help. Roberto

I am observing a regression in Fedora 20 new 3.17 series kernel drm/nouveau. Last working drm/nouveau is in kernel-3.15.6-200. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84M [GeForce 8600M GT] (rev a1) graphical boot is working but X is not.
latest kernel-3.17.6-200.fc20.x86_64 is still not working, staying with kernel-3.15.6-200.fc20.x86_64. I missed 3.16.x series, though.
does this have anything to do with nvidia problem I am observing in 3.17.x series? http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg39131.html
I don't know if this can be usefull, but I tried the "almost stable" Debian Jessie on this same computer and the result is the same (kernel 3.16). I tried many previous kernels and the last working is the 3.12. You can see the full bug report at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773368
kernel-3.15.6-200.fc20.x86_64 stopped working as well. updated to Fedora 21 - the same "no screens found" in Xorg.0.log
I'm having the same problem after installing Fedora 21 on an old Dell Latitude D620 with Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M. I'm getting the same GPU lockup messages.
I am experiencing this issue also an an old DELL with same video card with Fedora 21 (kernel 3.18.7-200.fc21.i686)
I see the same problem using dell latitude d820 trying to use both fedora 21 & fedora 22 alpha, even with updates. Seems this is upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88893 In my case gpu is slightly different: NVIDIA Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1) Richard in fdo bugzilla said cinnamon works but gnome-shell and unity are affected. Any news on this guys?
I had the same issue, ie: kernel hangs during boot since 3.18.x branch, using Nvidia card and nouveau driver. My last working Kernel is 3.17.8-200.fc20.x86_64 (FC20). I've upgraded to last Kernel 4.0.4, hoping issue would be fixed but not. So, I have investigated within Linux source code. - Download Linux source from git and use branch 'linux-4.0.y' - Use config file '/boot/config-4.0.4-201.fc21.x86_64' as default config - Build, install and boot this kernel. After some experimentations and full debug traces, I've came to disable the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) configuration in the Graphical drivers section, ie: # CONFIG_DRM is not set Now, I'm able to boot and use use my laptop but I can't confirm/infirm what are the disavantages (no optimizations ?) as I don't use much 'graphical' ressources. I hope that this can help.
The problem is (at least for me) related to MSI interrupts, kernels > 4.0 have this enabled by default for this GPU but you can get earlier kernels to work by setting nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 for your kernel See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88893#c17
Thanks a lot Richard for this help. It works also fine for me now, altough that I got plenty of 'nouveau SCHED_ERROR or DRM erros in the Kernel log.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
