Nouveau won't load with custom kernel 2.6.35.6-48

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I compiled a custom kernel in F14 using the Fedora source RPM, and
created a custom initramfs for it using dracut.  It boots, and X tries
to load nouveau, but it fails and falls back to VESA.  Here is the
pertinent section from Xorg.0.log while it was booting.

44.002] (II) NOUVEAU driver 
[    44.002] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families :
[    44.002]    RIVA TNT    (NV04)
[    44.002]    RIVA TNT2   (NV05)
[    44.002]    GeForce 256 (NV10)
[    44.002]    GeForce 2   (NV11, NV15)
[    44.002]    GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18)
[    44.002]    GeForce 3   (NV20)
[    44.002]    GeForce 4Ti (NV25, NV28)
[    44.002]    GeForce FX  (NV3x)
[    44.002]    GeForce 6   (NV4x)
[    44.002]    GeForce 7   (G7x)
[    44.002]    GeForce 8   (G8x)
[    44.002] (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
[    44.002] (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev
[    44.002] (++) using VT number 1

[    44.008] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[    44.082] [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau"
[    44.082] (EE) [drm] failed to open device

It isn't clear to me why it failed.  Can anyone clarify for me what is
wrong here and how I should fix it?  I think my device is a 4MX in the
list above.

Thanks.
