3.5.[12] won't boot - GeForce GTX 285

[Sam Varshavchik]

Does anyone have this NV5x-based video card, and can boot the 3.5.1 and  
3.5.2 kernels, with nouveau?

The last kernel I can boot is 3.5.0. The two kernels that follow are hanging  
for me, at the point where everything gets handed over to plymouth and  
userland. I've waited long enough to be certain that things are really at a  
screeching halt, and userspace is not coming up, blindly, behind the scenes.

I don't really have anything solid that points to the video card as the  
culprit. It's just a hunch. 849341.

I have a GeForce GT 230, which I believe is NV5x based on http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/

Booting just fine.
