Description of problem:

I upgraded to fedora13 today, my display no longer works.
It appears that the nouveau driver locks up in the kernel if
I boot without "nouveau.modeset=0" (which I used to have for
fedora12, kernel version 2.3.31)

The relevant section of the logs seem to be:

There are enough of these PFIFO_INTR messages that I don't have the
initial boot messages captured.

I'll attach full logs to the message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel: 2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:

Boot.  100% repeatable.

System will boot if nouveau.modeset=0 is set, but then X won't start up.

Additional info:

These drm kernel messages are output when booting with nouveau.modeset=0
