RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

lspci -vv output, filtered to show nVidia GPUs + the main GPU

Hello,

Anaconda locks up on a machine with nVidia Tesla GPUs, with the symptoms described here:

http://groups.google.com/group/puias-users/browse_thread/thread/045e1761c45a679e#

Starting the installer with rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0 enables it to work.

Once the system is installed, doing modprobe nouveau modeset=1 hangs the system with the following messages :

[drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: failed to load fuc490c
[drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: PMC - unhandled INTR 0x08002000

the last line being repeated ~15 times.

Attached is the output of lspci -vv for this machine.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
