Bug Description
Nouveau blacklisting fails when /usr is on seperate partition.
cat /etc/modprobe.
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
blacklist nvidia-173
blacklist nvidia-96
alias nvidia nvidia-current
File exists as above and 'update-initramfs -u' was run.
System fails to blacklist nouveau and as a result nvidia drivers are unable to claim the device and boot.
This is clearly some type of race condition with upstart and not being able to access /usr/lib at time of boot. A temporary fix was to modify and include 'and local-filesystems' to the start line. This seems to slow down the boot process, but the driver was blacklisted.
DO NOT DO THIS, THIS IS WRONG AND VERY VERY STUPID.
/etc/init/udev.conf
start on virtual-filesystems and local-filesystems
NOTE: the same applies to the fglrx driver which requires blacklisting the radeon module
