Hi y'all,
I have the habit of compiling kernels from Linus' tree once in a while. The list of installed kernels on my AA64 Fedora 12 machine looks like so :
[arares@localhost ~]$ ls /boot | grep vmlinuz vmlinuz vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64 vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 vmlinuz-2.6.32.9-67.fc12.x86_64 vmlinuz-2.6.33-00001-gbaac35c vmlinuz-2.6.33-05070-g64ba992 vmlinuz-2.6.33-05679-g4da0b66 vmlinuz-2.6.34-rc1-00005-g522dba7
Now, the first vanilla kernel (aka the oldest) works OK with nouveau, and the Fedora-supplied ones do the same. However, the other vanilla kernels fail to show me a nice gdm screen, and after some flickering, leave the following in my logs :
195 (II) [drm] DRM interface version 1.3 196 (II) [drm] DRM open master succeeded. 197 (II) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] nouveau interface version: 0.0.16 198 (EE) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] wrong version, expecting 0.0.15 199 (EE) NOUVEAU(0): 879: 200 (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau" 201 (II) UnloadModule: "dri" 202 (II) UnloadModule: "int10" 203 (II) Unloading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libint10.so 204 (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. 205 206 Fatal server error: 207 no screens found 208 209 Please consult the Fedora Project support
(the line numbers are from my vim, sorry). So, the question is : should I file this as a bug in kernel's bugzilla or in Fedora's? Thank you.

Nouveau had an abi change. There was a big discussion about this on LMKL because it broke some stuff for Linus on his F12 machine. There is still an unresolved issue on how to easily do bisects accross this change. But Linus didn't revert the change.
