[Discuss] nouveau E[DRM] GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon

[Jerry Feldman]

I'm running Fedora 18, but I have received similar messages on 17 and
16, but only on shutdownon my system. I've seen a lot of reports online,
but no solutions. Here is a link to a Fedora bug report:
https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/51548/

Obviously I have an NVIDIA graphics chip and am using nouveau driver.
The only issue I have with this is when I shutdown or reboot, I have to
press the power button. This comes late in the shutdown process after
all drives have been unmountedand MD has been deactivated, so at this
point it is a minor PIA.
