[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1506845@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Ubuntu Vivid using stock install, no additional configs, on a dual boot
(Ubuntu + Win7)

When booting, my laptop will sometimes boot successfully, sometimes not,
and sometimes, will reboot. Using CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to terminal shows
me a console flood for Nouveau (sometimes) and sometimes not. Sometimes
I see messages about firmware not being used/installed.

I cannot reliably replicate this problem, but I have had similar
problems running Fedora on this machine with similar console floods,
which points further up to the upstream kernel.

I suspect it is a race condition, as if I can see the console flood, the
laptop often boots successfully, but if I don't I either get a kernel
panic or a self-reboot.

Can provide more information/HW details if needed (but not at the
machine right now)
