Description of problem: At end of graphical boot, just before starting KDE, screen gets corrupted and system gets frozen and does not react to any key hit. 1) If I switch to text interface at beginning of boot by pressing ESC, no freeze occurs. 2) If I hit Alt-SysRq-e during freeze, boot switches to KDE start. Everything seems OK except ethernet which is disconnected (but this may be a side effect of Alt-SysRq). During freeze, /var/log/syslog log file is flooded with error messages like this : localhost kernel: [ 52.803636] [drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 2/0 Mthd 0x0200 Data 0x00000001 No errors were found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.5.1-desktop586-1.mga3 x11-server-xorg 1.12.3-2.mga3 x11-driver-video-nouveau 1.0.1-3.mga3 libdrm_nouveau2 2.4.38-1.mga3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot in graphical interface 2. Wait for freeze (just after 5th bubble over cauldron ...) 3.
With my PC, sometime (2 per 10) Cauldron freezes on start of graphical boot. If I use nouveau driver or nvidia it is the same.

Just done an update, but same problem of freeze ... Last version-Release numbers : 3.5.2-desktop586-1.mga3 x11-server-xorg 1.12.3-2.mga3 x11-driver-video-nouveau 1.0.1-3.mga3 libdrm_nouveau2 2.4.38-1.mga3
nouveau worked just fine on Mageia 2 on my sister's desktop system, but on Mageia 3, it freezes. It usually doesn't take using the GUI very long for it to freeze. The screen will just suddenly corrupt in a mixed up repeating pattern (looking like it was created out of what was on the screen when it froze). I have to use the power button to turn it off. Unfortunately, there are no helpful error messages in any logs from when this occurs, it locks hard. The affected system is a Dell Inspiron desktop with an AMD CPU. DMI: Dell Inc.
