Comment # 16 on bug 1137067 from Paul Richards

> Even though the nouveau driver baffs, with a little bit of luck you might get enough written to the /var/log/boot.msg that will include the stack trace of the Null pointer.

In my case "/" isn't mounted yet (encrypted LVM partition hasn't been unlocked
yet), so I don't expect anything in /var/log to be present.

> Paul if you are happy to undertake a bisect to narrow down the offending problem code by all means do.

I'd be happy to.  I am a software engineer by trade, but I don't have any
specific openSUSE or kernel development experience.  I assume I can rebuild
kernel RPMs locally from source somehow, and do a bisect.  Are there any
instructions for that?

If not, I'll try to figure out something following the instructions here:
