Description Bryan Bennett 2006-04-02 13:25:32 UTC
Fails to load driver which causes computer to completely lock on loading X.  If nodetect flag is passed to kernel system will load in console mode after about 4mins, however since this disables detection of networking/devices this is not ideal.

Tried "nox" instead?  Tried any other troubleshooting?

Also, please provide the output of "/sbin/lspci", though I suspect this is a similar (if not identical) bug to bug #125940 just with a different card.

Even though this is fixed, technically, we will not be shipping the binary
drivers on another CD, since it violates the GPL to do so.
