Pierre Equoy (pieq) wrote : Live USB freezes or cannot complete install when nouveau driver is loaded

When I boot the Disco 19.04 beta live USB, I can see a lot of errors related to nouveau in dmesg.

Because of this, `lspci` freezes, so reporting an issue is impossible either with ubuntu-bug or sosreport (in both cases, the log gathering stops when trying to get the output from lspci).

To avoid this issue, I need to launch the live USB with the following command line:

$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash modprobe.blacklist=nouveau ---

(that is, add `modprobe.blacklist=nouveau` to the command line in Grub)
