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 at 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.

206 Fatal server error:
207 no screens found

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.
