I tried to install Mageia 5 on my new laptop (UEFI) an ASUS N551J with
two graphical cards (intel and nvidia). I have tried every option
mentioned in the errata (hybrid graphics). I have tried the Live KDE 64
DVD and the classical 64 DVD. Nothing works. I am now 'doomed' to use
Mint, that works at once, but I like Mageia much better (if it is
installable).

LiveKDE64DVD:

Sometimes at boottime (LiveDVD) I get many nouveau errors and after a
while I get a KDE desktop (intel detected?). I can than install it and
after reboot I sometimes can configure a user and can log in into KDE.
After a few seconds everything freezes. Poweroff and poweron and than it
freezes already at boottime (blank screen or with nouveau errors with
sometimes I see kernel panic).

Sometimes at boottime (LiveDVD) I get less nouveau errors and it freezes
already (no KDE).

I tried boot options as suggested 'optimus' and/or 'rd.blacklist=nouveau
rd.blacklist=nvidia xdriver=intel' –> No effect. Still nouveau errors at
boottime and/or freezes.

ClassicalKDE64DVD:

Installation works until after reboot. Same problems as with the LiveDVD.
I tried the boot options, no effect. At the point of the installer to configure the graphics, it suggested 'Intel 810 and later' and not 'use intel only' as told in the errata. Even with Intel selected I get nouveau errors at boottime, with or without boot options.

It seems a problem like mentioned in the errata with the hybrid graphics
(Intel+Nvidia), but the suggested options does not work.

Linux Mint 17.1:

No problem, works at once. No errors.

Same issues on my new laptop:

Went back to Mageia 4, no issues there, as there never were.

A quick search found this:

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-
general/2015-March/038729.html

My recollection is that using rd.blacklist didn't work for me, because
the nouveau driver got loaded later in the boot sequence. You could try
adding

  blacklist nouveau

to /etc/modprobe.conf on the installed system to see if that helps.

I see in Peter's log that he is also experiencing bug 16033, although
that is probably not important at this stage.

Just done some experiments on my laptop, and I need both the boot option
*and* the entry in /etc/modprobe.conf to prevent the nouveau module
being loaded.

Furthermore, the required boot option is "rdblacklist=nouveau", not
"rd.blacklist=nouveau".

It is working now :-)

I use the boot options 'rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.runpm=0
xdriver=intel'

nouveau.runpm=0 is a tip from doktor500, with this the LiveDVD/USB gives
nouveau errors but I get at least at every boot a KDE desktop.

The same boot options I use for the installed system.
Right after install with the first boot I selected 'Safe Mode' and added 'blacklist nouveau' to /etc/modprobe.conf.

After this I get no errors and get a beautiful Mageia KDE desktop.

Thanks for all the help.

Same here.
Installed Mageia 5 in a free partition, so i could leave Mageia 4 in place, in case of.

But, so far the abovementioned workaround worked.

Title:
  Kernel sometimes won't boot to login screen

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Mandriva:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using 3.19.0-26-generic as kernel.

  Ubuntu version is:
  Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
  Release:	15.04

  Version of the nouveau driver is:
    Installed: 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1
    Candidate:    1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1
    Version table:
   *** 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1 0
          500 http://ftp.acc.umu.se/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  I expected the module to be able to work without freezing the entire system.
  This issue prevents me from getting to the login session.

  I have installed Ubuntu on my brand new laptop which is a Asus N550JK.
  It has Hybrid Graphics (Intel 4th Generation + nVidia GeForce GTX 850M so I was told to nvidia-prime for Optimus.
  Sometimes when I boot the kernel it stops before I see the login window and the computer is completely frozen.

  However if I switch to the proprietary driver for nouveau the computer
  doesn't lock completely anymore.
