I have a really old laptop (Latitude E6410) with an old video card (NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [NVS 3100M] rev a2) which requires nvidia-drivers-340.107. No problems with kernel 4.14, but crashes with 4.19 at boot. X does not start, the computer goes to a blank screen and freezes, requiring an improper shutdown. A similar bug was recently reported (and fixed upstream) for the 390 series x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers (Bug 658748). I was told to file a separate bug for 340.107. Attached are the relevant parts of /var/log/messages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade sys-kernel/gentoo-sources from the 4.14 series to the 4.19 series, per https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Upgrade. 2. emerge @module-rebuild to rebuild =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.107 3. Make the initramfs with genkernel, update grub 4. Restart into a 4.19 series kernel. Actual Results: Crash, X does not start Expected Results: Continue boot and start X
