After updating to xorg-server-1.0.2-r6 (from xorg-server-1.0.2-r5) my gentoo completly freeze on startup. I cant see any errors. I cant do anything. Just restored my gentoo partition with partition backup and tried to update again - the same issue. tux michel # emerge --info Portage 2.1.1_pre1-r1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo i686 AMD Athlon XP-M Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: [Not Present] sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LINGUAS="en de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acpi alsa apache2 arts asf avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 c++ cdda cdr cli crypt css cups curl dbus dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd fbcon fbsplash ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif gimp glut gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal icq ieee1394 imlib java javascript jpeg jpeg2k kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility libg++ libwww lm_sensors lzo mad matroska mikmod mmx mmxext motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpeg2 mplayer msn ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png pop python qt quicktime rar readline real reflection samba sdl session sox spell spl sse sse-filters ssl svg tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb userlocales vcd vorbis win32codecs wxwindows x264 xcomposite xfs xml xmms xorg xpm xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux linguas_en linguas_de linguas_ru userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
rather useless this bugreport is ;] Change default init in /etc/inittab to 3 and try to start xorg manually. And when it freezes cannot you switch to console with ctrl-alt-1 ?
Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log from a failed attempt and /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Reopen the bug when you do this. If you have another computer accessible, try to ssh to this computer after X fails. If that works, you can kill X.
Created attachment 89729 [details] Xorg.0.log
Created attachment 89730 [details] xorg.conf
So i just attached both files ...
Reassigning since you're using nvidia binary drivers.
So is there no solution for this problem? I already tested xorg.conf with different configuration -> no success ;(
Created attachment 91298 [details] Output of nvidia-bug-report.sh after lockup and reboot I have the same problems. Any of the 8xxx nvidia drivers lead to a complete system lockup. I can only pull the plug. The 7xxx drivers are fine, but do not compile against kernel 2.6.16 or newer. There is also a forum thread on this issue http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3421273.html Below you find my emerge --info. The output of nvidia-bugreport.sh is attached.

for anyone still having trouble with this: I posted to the nvidia forum and 20 minutes later I had a solution: open /etc/modules.d/nvidia and there comment in the line options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=4 the 4 is for toshiba laptops. for the proper number see the documentation referenced in this file.
Seems to be resolved. Reopen if you still have problems.
