kernel 2.6.33.8 breaks display

[lanestevens]

I have Lenovo T410 with NVIDIA NVS 3100m running nouveau driver/F13. When I updated to the latest kernel, the display goes blank when booting and remains blank. I can ssh to the machine, so - it appears to be an X/display issue. All else seems to be working normally, and I didn't spot anything of interest in the logs - but perhaps I don't know what to look for.

Also, it appears to be an issue in the kernel package rather than in the nouveau driver package. I can still boot the former kernel successfully - even with the new driver files.

The previous kernel version was the version of the kernel that is provided with the initial F13 install.

I can provide additional information.

Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem. Updated last nite and I lost the display. Even the fedora symbol splash at boot up is gone and there is a "text" bar for progress now.

I wasn't thinking when I posted my original... The problem is likely to be in the driver because it is a kernel module, and when I boot with the old kernel, I'm using the old driver.

Still pursuing the work around to the bug that I referenced...

Every kernel 2.6.33.x x>5 broke suspend/resume the screen turned off on resume.

The kernel 2.6.34-6 from Koji seemed to fix the problem.

I just tried 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE and it is still broken
here. Boots and appears to go to text mode (no nice fc logo)
and then has a text progress bar at the bottom. Finally the
screen just goes blank. Cant even get to ctl-alt-fx to a terminal.
