Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

I can't start the lucid beta 2 liveCD on a computer with a Nvidia GeForce 6200 SE (NV44A rev A1) : the screen stays blank after booting.
It works properly with a lucid alpha 3 liveCD, and with a karmic liveCD.

I managed to install the beta 2 on this computer through the alternate CD : the behavior is the same when booting on the hard drive.
I installed all the updates (as of 16th april 2040) : same behavior

I experience the precise same behavior with Fedora live : Fedora 12 live
boots correctly (but relies on "nv" driver), Fedora 13 beta live gives
the same blank screen (and also uses "nouveau" driver).

I think this is a regression in the "nouveau" graphic driver : the version bundled with lucid alpha 3 works, the one with lucid beta 2 (or fedora 13 beta) does not.
Here is an excerpt of the dmesg on beta 2 :
  nouveau 0000:03:00.0: RAMHT space exhausted. ch=0
  nouveau 0000:03:00.0: Error referencing VRAM ctxdma: -12
  nouveau 0000:03:00.0: gpuobj -12

This error message does not appear when using lucid alpha 3.
