Public bug reported:
It just happens at a cold boot.
The boot process starts normally, but when the X server is about to get
control of the video card I get a black screen. Apparently no system
activity and no mouse cursor. Can't switch virtual terminals also. But
there is video signal, a black screen.
I'm attaching X.org logs for a crash boot and for a normal boot. In the
crash case the log stops somewhere in the NVIDIA driver's
initialization.
A very strange thing I noticed comparing the two logs is that in the crash case
(and in all the cold starts I tested) I get the entry:
(II) PCI Memory resource overlap reduced 0xf0000000 from 0xf7ffffff to
0xefffffff
And in the hot starts (normal boot), I have:x86_64
(II) PCI Memory resource overlap reduced 0xf0000000 from 0xf0000000 to
0xefffffff
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 for x86_64, with all updates as of today (May 15th)
kernel: 2.6.24-16-generic
I don't have problems using the NV open source driver.
