Same behaviour, same card. Could I send some additional info/dump to solve this problem?
Comment 2 Neil Horman 2011-08-09 12:19:28 UTC 
You have a bogus ROM image on your card.  The length of the timing table is stored in a ROM on the card  and the value of the table length the the driver read out of that ROm is less than 15 bytes, which is the minimum record length on that table.  You need to contact your hardware vendor and get the card fixed or replaced.
Comment 3 David "okias" Heidelberger 2011-08-09 12:33:36 UTC 
May I propose to add some information about that into nouveau error message?
