This is a repeat or restatement.

Vote as NOGO

I have the latest hardware and expect features to work such as booting,
installing, and the latest video support (nouveau).

Reason

-(131) i586 Does not boot in VBox or real hardware

-(130) Calamares install fails on installation on real hardware; Live mode
does work with some workaround but problems

-(130) Can we verify the latest linux-firmware is updated to the most
current?

-(130) Version of libdrm is latest?

-(130) Latest version of nouveau?

I will continue to test Nvidia non-free drivers both from the pkgs and
Nvidia website.  Installing from Nvidia website requires that all pkgs
drivers for Nvidia be removed (dkms, nvidia304, nvidia340, nvidia-current,
x11-driver-video- related).

Thanks and regards,

Efrem McCrimon

The 130 x86_64 is having problem on my Intel Z170 with advanced video cards
from Nvidia.  These are from the latest Maxwell family chipset. Problem
does not exist when using an Intel i915 video as the primary video.   The
problem is with nouveau driver.  Somehow the BIOS detection is not working
correctly as the kernel loads the Intel i915 when it is disabled in BIOS.
It also loads the driver for nouveau, and if Nvidia is configured it gets
loaded as well.

On the Z170 platform, the 130 image boots if using the  Intel i915; I need
to test with BIOS disable.  Enable works on the i915 as a primary display.

When i915 is disabled and Nvidia is the primary card 960 fails. Testing
with Intel disabled and 730 Nvidia as Primary video.

I will report soon.

Regards,

Efrem
