Hi Khalid, I currently have no nouveau compatible device at hand, but I retried with this EEEPC and its Intel graphics device [0]. I just upgraded to the latest Linux kernel provided by Debian unstable (3.10-2-amd64).
Unfortunately I'm still having graphics issues. First I tried loading and rebooting my current kernel image and its initrd, but I'm just having a black screen with a single line of text at the top saying it is booting into the new kernel. I've also tried this Damn Small Linux kernel[1]+initrd[2] (it has all its content in the initrd, the initrd was created with this guide [3]). The boot process is still black and the loaded desktop is heavily scrambled but shows some colour and motion (see [4],[5]). I was using this [6] kexec command. Also adding --reset-vga does not help. Booting the same DSL via kvm with this [7] command works without any issues. I'll retry with the nouveau device later this week, the original laptop I was testing with back then still exists. Thanks for all the feedback so far!
