** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau I bought a new graphics adaptor to replace my old ATI one. The model I chose is a Gainward GeForce 210 1024MB DDR2 HDMI. Upon installing the new adaptor my Ubuntu 10.10 64bit system froze on reboot. I tried booting from the 64 and 32 bit CDs always producing the same result - freezing. It freezes right when starting to boot from GRUB - producing just a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of an otherwise empty screen. This has not changed with the lastest alpha 2 CD of Natty, either. After changing the grub command line options to "nouveau.blacklist=1" (as suggested somewhere on the web) I could boot my system and install the NVIDIA driver instead which works fine, however, I no longer get a bootsplash. Consecutively I made it a default in /etc/default/grub to keep my system from freezing. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.blacklist=1" I did an lspic -vv, maybe it helps: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) - Subsystem: CardExpert Technology Device 1401 - Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- - Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- - Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes - Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 - Region 0: Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] - Region 1: Memory at b0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] - Region 3: Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] - Region 5: I/O ports at 9000 [size=128] - Expansion ROM at d1000000 [disabled] [size=512K] - Capabilities: <access denied> - Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb + Subsystem: CardExpert Technology Device 1401 + Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- + Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- + Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes + Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 + Region 0: Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] + Region 1: Memory at b0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] + Region 3: Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] + Region 5: I/O ports at 9000 [size=128] + Expansion ROM at d1000000 [disabled] [size=512K] + Capabilities: <access denied> + Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb Anyway, I thought I might report this bug as a frozen system might be a real showstopper for any Linux newbies. I'd be grateful, if somebody could look into this. I already reported this as an addition to bug #661235 but I was asked to start a new bug report as it seems to differ form the situation originally described there.
