[indiana-discuss] Problems with NVIDIA driver when cold booting

[Guido Berhoerster]

I seem to have some problem with the NVIDIA driver when cold
booting the RC1 live CD. X fails to start, booting stops at the
console login with the following error messages:

NOTICE: NVRM: RunInitAdapter failed! (0x12:0x2b:1636)
NOTICE: NVRM: nv_open:rm_init_adapter(0) failed

Xorg.log contains the following error messages:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA kernel module does not appear to be receiving
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     interrupts generated by the NVIDIA graphics device
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     PCI:2:0:0.  Please see Chapter 5: Common Problems in the
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     README for additional information.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!

NVIDIA Readme:

    This can be caused by a variety of problems, such as PCI IRQ
    routing errors, I/O APIC problems or conflicts with other
    devices sharing the IRQ (or their drivers).

The very same NVIDIA driver (177.80) works flawlessly on Ubuntu,
in fact when I boot Ubuntu first and then reboot into the live CD
the problem does not occur at all, it only happens when I cold
boot into OS. The graphics card is a GeForce 76000 GT.
Has anybody encountered this? What do the kernel messages mean?
