Description Alex Buell 2011-02-03 00:15:20 UTC 
You might like to consider the following patches for inclusions in the 2.6.37 kernels. I understand these patches will be merged into the mainline tree for 2.6.38.
Comment 1 Alex Buell 2011-02-03 00:16:14 UTC 
Forgot to add: 

The patches are needed for 2.6.37 to be able to boot and start X properly on machines that has the old NVidia NV11 graphic adapters.

Where are these patches from?
Comment 5 Alex Buell 2011-02-12 22:54:01 UTC 
They're from the Nouveau developers. Hopefully they will go into 2.6.38.

This has been committed upstream:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=87886221471495c26d517a7b3ce7c7aa56cc854f

It will eventually make it into a stable kernel.

This patch is not in nouveau_bo.c.  Did you try to submit it like you did the other one?  What's it fate?
Comment 8 Alex Buell 2011-03-04 01:52:48 UTC 
Both patches are now in 2.6.38. But I'd recommend applying these patches for 2.6.37, with them my old laptop boots.

Am I missing it? I still don't see that one. (nv10_invalid_placement_range.patch )

Comment 11 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2011-03-18 00:15:38 UTC 
Can you test with those from the git repository and let me know the results?
Comment 12 Alex Buell 2011-03-18 01:56:57 UTC 
I take it that you want me to pull these patches and test with gentoo-sources 2.6.37? I've already tested with git-sources 2.6.38 (which has made its way into gentoo-sources overnight, it boots very nicely.
Comment 13 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2011-03-25 18:49:16 UTC 
Ok, glad it works for you in 2.6.38, if there is not interest in backporting to .37, I will close.
