[ISV_Damocles <isv.damocles@xxxxxxxxx>]

This bug is not fixed, and I get the failure far more often than he
reports (most of the time it fails to load the nvidia module, and only
occasionally can I get it to boot properly).

Ubuntu 10.04 is the first version of Ubuntu that seems to support my
nvidia graphics card (GeForce GT 320M) (at least I couldn't get it to
use the nvidia drivers in 9.10).

Attached are Xorg.0.log (a successful nvidia start up), Xorg.1.log (Xorg
catching the failure and switching to VESA), and Xorg.2.log (a failed
log).

Xorg.0.log is in one system boot while Xorg.1.log and Xorg.2.log are in
the previous system boot.

Also attached is the messages file, which the nvidia driver suggests
reading for an error message, but I can't find one that doesn't show up
under a successful boot up, as well.

I did find in comparing the dmesg and dmesg.0 (the current and previous
boot, respectively) that when the failure occurs, it seems the nForce2
driver is failing ("nForce2_smbus 0000:00:03.2: Error probing SMB2.") in
dmesg.0 while in dmesg no such line can be found. Do you think it could
be some sort of race condition on communicating with the nForce2 chipset
between the nForce2 driver and nvidia's proprietary graphics driver? (It
is a black box, it could be touching who knows what.)
