Nouveau - Apr 2008 - [Bug 15650] New: Hard freeze when starting X with GeForce 6800 GS (NV43)

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15650

           Summary: Hard freeze when starting X with GeForce 6800 GS (NV43)
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org

xorg.conf

I installed Fedora Rawhide, which included the package
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.10-2.20080408git0991281.fc9.x86_64.  When starting X,
the mouse cursor appears in the middle of the screen, and then the machine
freezes.  It's not just X that freezes; the computer is no longer reachable
over the network.

This is my first time trying Nouveau, so I'm not sure which information is
most
helpful, but I'll attach Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf.  Here is the information
about the card from `lspci -v`:

I just tried installing from source to see if it made any difference.  I
checked out the latest sources from git (following the InstallNouveau
instructions on the wiki).  Unfortunately, the same problem occurred.

I also tried doing `startx` instead of using gdm.  It turns out that I can move
the mouse until the first X client connects to the server, at which point the
machine locks up.  Even a simple X client like `xterm` is enough to freeze the
computer.

I just ran it again.  This time I did `insmod drm.ko debug=1`.  I'm
attaching
/var/log/messages (from boot to crash).  It doesn't look very informative,
but
it might be helpful.

kernel log with better log level

I was able to get a kernel log with more messages.  This new kernel log is with
/ mounted with sync, and with the kernel booted with nosmp.

This is a bridged card (AGP). This might or might not matter.

When we replaced:

#if !defined(__powerpc__) && !defined(__ia64__)

with 

#if 0

on line 498 of nouveau_mem.c, clients were able to connect without X crashing. 
I was able to start gnome-terminal, xterm, Firefox, etc.

However, when I started urxvt (a simple terminal with unicode support), X
crashed and I got the following errors in .xsession-errors:

gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server
: \0.0.
gnome-terminal: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X
server :\0.0.
gnome-panel: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server
:0. \0.
bluetooth-applet: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X    
  \server :0.0.
nm-applet: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server
:0.0.
pam-panel-icon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X
server :\0.0.
firefox: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.
Window manager warning: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on
  \display ':0.0'.
kerneloops-applet: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X   
  \server :0.0.
applet.py: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server
:0.0.
gpk-update-icon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X     
  \server :0.0.


I checked Xorg.0.log, and it didn't give any additional output.  I also
tried
with Composite both enabled and disabled, and both showed the same problem.  I
will attach the kernel log (with drm output) from the time X started to the
time it crashed.

This seems related to the earlier crashes, but it might not be.  You would
probably know better than I do.

Thanks for your help.

It turns out that the urxvt crash happens with the nv driver as well, so I
think it's a general xserver problem.  It's certainly not related to
this bug,
so I filed a separate bug report.

The workaround for this bug (of disabling the AGP initialization) seems to work
great.

Thanks.

FWIW, I've also seen freezes with nouveau / nv drivers on x86-64 with NV43
(but
nvidia blob works all ok). Full details are at:

Daniel, I think yours is actually a separate bug.  This one pertains
specifically to bridged AGP cards.

By the way, this has been open a long time.  I was just wondering whether
anyone has had a chance to look at it?

Closing this as there were no status updates for about two years. If this is
still a problem with recent nouveau, please reopen with new logs.
