Comment 7 for bug 942846

I see as well from the attached kernel information that you're using the nouveau driver, and that when booted *without* vt.handoff, the nouveau driver has initialized without problems. Could you reboot with vt.handoff=7, cycle VTs as needed to get to the decryption prompt, boot and attach to the bug report the dmesg output from such a boot? Would like to compare the two.
