Computer with NVidia RTX 5070Ti graphics card.
Today's (2026-02-09) Debian Testing Live (xfce4) iso image – stops
during startup.

Final information:
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: NVIDIA GB203
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gsp: RM version: 570.144
The system froze – only the reset button helped.
After booting with the ‘nomodeset’ option, it also stops, but after
pressing Enter, it continues and boots in 800x600 resolution, which
cannot be changed.
The ‘glxheads’ command displays, among other things:
“GL_RENDERER: llvmpipe”.
The iso image contains the ‘mesa-vulkan-drivers:amd64 25.3.3-1’ package,
so ‘zink NVK’ should load instead of ‘llvmpipe’.
I think that's how it worked two (or three) weeks ago.
Could kernel 6.18.5 have something to do with it?
Best regards.
