The offending commit is between mainline 2.6.35-rc1 and 2.6.35-rc2. However, I cannot reproduce the bug on a locally compiled 2.6.35-rc2 kernel with default config. If I compiled the same version with the config from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc2-maverick/, it will

I compiled my kernel according to the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild. It says I need to clone from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git. When I build the kernel with the following commands and install the compiled deb, it works. I can access

It is getting more and more confusing. Mainline 2.6.35 and 2.6.36 both have this bug. It looks like if nouveau is loaded too fast, the console won't be accessible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

PKduck, it would be expected 2.6.35 mainline has the bug as the Ubuntu kernel doesn't map exactly to mainline. One would want to test an older version of the mainline (ex. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v2.6.34.1-maverick/ or even earlier than that) in order to find a version that
