My system hangs while booting when the nvidia frame buffer is enabled. I've attached a zip with: log-hang1.txt -> log showing hang cfg-hang1 -> config file for hang condition cfg-ok -> config file that works fbmem.c -> Modifications to register_framebuffer To possibly assist, I turned on debugging in nvidia.c and found that it hung in the call to register_framebuffer. I then added some additional debug in that routine and it appears the hang occurs in the call to fb_notifier_call_chain. Please let me know what else maybe needed. Cheers, Wink (PS: I previously posted this by replying to a previous email and that post got buried, so excuse the reposting) (PSS: Sorry again, thunderbird still kept the "References" field when I told it to "Edit message as new") My hardware is a Asus P5W DH Deluxe with Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel 975X/ICH7R chip set & e-GeForce nvidia 7600 GT KO video card with 2GB of ram.
