Bug#602095: [nouveau] black screen after reboot

[Julien Tailleur <Julien.Tailleur@univ-paris-diderot.fr>]

Hi,

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this message...

Results of preceding discussions:

> > Please remove the nvidia driver, unblacklist nouveau, and attach the

I can't do that. If I unblacklist nouveau and remove the nvidia driver, 
I just get a black screen right after grub and do not have access to dmesg.

I perfectly agree with that and would be happy to have a free driver 
that works fine, whence my bug report.

> Help in the form of information would be appreciated, though.

I'm happy to try and provide information but I was a bit lost about how 
to provide this information. Since this is a professional computer which 
I need to work on a daily basis, I could try to make a new partition, 
install squeeze from scratch and get (hopefully) the same result. 
However this result is just a black screen so there is not much 
information I can give. I suppose I can always chroot into the partition 
and access the log files, but you'll have to tell me which files would 
help :-)

> Thanks and sorry for the slow response,

No worries, sorry for the unhelpful answer :-)
