I removed the PCI card, but the problem still occurs: the kernel panics
all the time. I am attaching a new screenshot, this one of the

there be an incompatibility with
Due to the kernel panics attached, I'm changing this to list as a bug in

Xorg crashes very frequently
The suggestion was put to me that this might be due to broken / buggy
hardware, and that testing (say) a Feisty (or other) Live CD would help
to verify that possibility.
A personal suggestion would be to run the memtest option from the boot
menu, and let memtest86 do a thorough scan and see that
Thanks for your attention; actually, running the memcheck was one of
the first things I tried: it ran overnight without any problems. I also
checked the CD MD5SUM, burned at only 4x, and checked the CD for defects
from the menu option -- and all was fine.
Very important note: this system ran
I am attaching a screenshot, and more will follow eventually. Can you
perhaps correct the bug's package, or should I submit a new one
affecting linux-image?
Another note: I took the time to install Debian Sarge and Lenny, and
they are also both affected.

I am attaching a new screenshot, this one with a different sort of
panic.
Also, on my previous message, I meant to say that Debian Etch and
Lenny are also affected, not Debian Sarge and Lenny...

And here's the third screenshot; this one is also of the fatal
exception in interrupt kind, but it seems to occur in a different spot
from the previous one.
As you might have already deduced from the lspci output, the only odd
thing about my system is that I am using a PCI card to provide USB 2.0
What if the bug is in the kernel and not in the nv driver? I say this
because if I'm on one of the virtual consoles (say, F2) while the
freezes occur, I see a kernel backtrace and the kernel panic message
Not syncing - fatal interrupt error.
Note that the last kernels that worked fine were
If you happen to have a digital camera, please take a photo of the

And here's another Xorg.0.log.old file containing a backtrace.
I noticed that when it starts, X tries to load quite a few modules from
the /usr/lib/xorg/modules directory. Is there anyway to control which
modules are loaded? (so I can isolate the error)

I decided to risk it and install Gutsy anyway. And I'm sorry to report
that the problem with the nv driver remains: X is very unstable,
completely freezing the system every few minutes.
I am running out of options here, because I don't feel like reinstalling
Edgy all over again...

Xorg crashes very frequently
I have now tried the final Gutsy, and alas, the problem is still there.
So far I've only managed to get system freezes, no crashes (did you guys
change anything?). However, the freezes happen far too frequently for
Gutsy to be viable (the system doesn't seem to last more than a few
minutes).

Hello Dario. Could you please look, if the fan of your graphics card
runs? Maybe the bug is not software related? Do other users of this card
experience the same behavior with gutsy? We will see.

Sorry, but I fail to see how the problem could *not* be software
related. After all, this same card worked perfectly with the Breezy,
Dapper, and Edgy (which I'm currently running) releases.
(Note: I say perfectly because even in Edgy, X still crashes every few
days or so. The problem with
I just tried the Gutsy RC, and I'm afraid the problem remains. Note
that I don't always get the error trace: often the machine just freezes,
forcing a hard reboot. Is there anything else I should try? Note that
even in Edgy, the nv driver is not particularly stable: it crashes every
couple of
