Upon loading the kernel module it crashes. An extract from the dmesg:

The NVidia binary driver works seemingly fine, if it matters.

Hi Timo

Can you try the latest kernel [1] or at least this patch (drm/nouveau:
fix oops if i2c bus not found in nouveau_i2c_identify()) [2]

It should resolve the "NULL pointer dereference"

Cheers
Emil

How did you acquire the VBIOS image?  If you didn't already do it this
way, can you mount debugfs with nouveau loaded (i guess you may need the
patch already mentioned), and copy the VBIOS image from
/<debugfs/dri/0/vbios.rom for me please?

It wasn't acquired by me, but I heard that the 'dd' method mentioned on
the wiki was used. I'll ask to test a new kernel with the fix and get a
new dump.

another vbios dump

Ok this should be a better (?) dump of the vbios.. The output is
"garbled beyond recognition" with the oops fixed.

We have same crash when loading the nouveau driver on a platform that owns an
NviDia GPU (NVc0 generation card (0x0c8880a1). See previous attached traces.
I applied the proposed [2] patch. It solves the crash, but we then the nouveau
driver logs continuously errors:
[drm] nouveau 0000:83:00.0: unknown i2c port 48

It seems that adding the nouveau.modeset=0 boot kernel parameter the driver 
loads without problem (but no traces are seen in dmesg).

Hi Timo

Thanks for your answer. I worried with this option because when running lsmod 
command the "nouveau" driver is present, but I could not see traces in dmesg....
As a work-around, we also tried unsuccessfully to blacklist the driver 
(rdblacklist=nouveau kernel boot parameter). 
Using the nouveau.disable=1 kernel boot parameter prevents the driver to be 
loaded, but its a side effect (error on no "disable" option in the driver).
Is there a clean way to blacklist it ? 

Thanks again.

With an ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 card, an experiment with Mageia 2 LiveCD
with a desktop 3.3.6 kernel was successful, which may mean the solution
is in the kernel at least by that version.  Otherwise, there are some
attachments in #43029 that might help, including dmesg output from
Knoppix 6.7.1 with the above-named card.

Unfortunately, installed Mageia 2 doesn't work properly with Nouveau and
the ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 card.  According to observation and dmesg
timestamps, the kernel appears to go out to lunch for about four
minutes.  Later, when attempting startx, keyboard input becomes
extremely unresponsive, and video output is blacked out.  This is with
kernel 3.3.8-desktop-2.mga2.  The same installation and kernel work well
with an ENGT430 card.  What information (dmesg, Xorg log) would be
useful?

With multiple duplicate reports and apparently multiple reporters,
shouldn't this have a status of 'confirmed' rather than 'new'?
