Title:
Live-CD and Installed Ubuntu freeze on boot with GeForce 210 / Nouveau
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
I bought a new graphics adaptor to replace my old ATI one. The model I
chose is a Gainward GeForce 210 1024MB DDR2 HDMI.
Upon installing the new adaptor my Ubuntu 10.10 64bit system froze on
reboot. I tried booting from the 64 and 32 bit CDs always producing
the same result - freezing. It freezes right when starting to boot
from GRUB - producing just a blinking cursor in the upper left corner
of an otherwise empty screen.
This has not changed with the lastest alpha 2 CD of Natty, either.
After changing the grub command line options to "nouveau.blacklist=1"
(as suggested somewhere on the web) I could boot my system and install
the NVIDIA driver instead which works fine, however, I no longer get a
bootsplash. Consecutively I made it a default in /etc/default/grub to
keep my system from freezing.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.blacklist=1"
I did an lspic -vv, maybe it helps:

Anyway, I thought I might report this bug as a frozen system might be
a real showstopper for any Linux newbies. I'd be grateful, if somebody
could look into this.
I already reported this as an addition to bug #661235 but I was asked
to start a new bug report as it seems to differ form the situation
originally described there.
