Hi all,
Running Fedora 17 and it's been going well for the past few months...
with Inno3D GF GTX 570 video card.
after updates...
getting the following error...
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon.
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Failed to idle channel 1.
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PFIFO - Playlist update failed.
Just keeps doing this down the screen and never gets to desktop.
This is after the last two "updates"...
There are three kernels listed and grub defaults to the latest kernel on
bootup. But after the previous updates, the above error happens. So I
manually tried the kernel second on the list of three. That booted but
had "updates". Reboot and error as above.
Now down to my last working kernel and too scared to run updates...
Various forums on the net say to try the following...
edit /etc/default/grub and add nouveau.noaccel=1. Didn't work.
or
edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add nomodeset vesa Didn't work.
I don't really care for the moment about what "fix" I use... just so
that I don't have to do rebuilding etc...
Anyone else have a suggestion on what I can do to just get past this
error for now with the latest kernel?
Thanks,
Ben
