It looks like a DRM issue

It booted into runlevel3 just fine, which pointed to an X related error.
This is what the Xorg log gave me:

The system hung up in a bit, even in run level 3, and I had to power it
off using the button. Here's a screenshot:

I'm guessing this confirms this to be a kernel/drm/nouveau issue? X
wouldn't cause the entire system to hang up in runlevel3? (I've checked
the kernel bug list and haven't found anything like this yet.) Any hints
on how I could collect more information on the issue?

Complete Xorg log is here:
