Well, it's strange...

The kernel you provided me works, but only half of it.

If I boot the above kernel it gives me the login screen, so it loads the driver correctly (I assume), but the laptop immediately freezes and I cannot do anything on it (I assume it kernel panics somewhere).
I have to make a hard shutdown using the power button and restart the computer.

Look, I am going on vacation now, I will not have the time, nor the resources to inspect this further, and quite frankly I don't want to mess up any more test kernels.

I left the 4.15.0-33 kernel, the latest stable kernel from Ubuntu and I instructed the people using it to add the "nomodeset" parameter to boot without loading Nouveau, but this is NOT a solution !

I helped you as much as I could.
Please analyze those nouveau commits. I am pretty sure the key to this problem is somewhere there, in those nouveau kernel modifs.

Thank you ! See you in 2 weeks.
