re: full dmesg (Re: can't get Nouveau console

[matthew green <mrg%eterna.com.au@localhost>]

hmmm.  there's no wsdisplay attached, hence the no console output
after drm takes over.

i believe this code is failing:

319         ret = nouveau_bo_map(nvbo);
320         if (ret) {
321                 NV_ERROR(drm, "failed to map fb: %d\n", ret);
322                 goto out_unpin;

which means this code never runs, which is where wsdisplay would
be attached:

351         helper->fbdev = config_found_ia(dev->dev, "nouveaufbbus", &nfa, NULL);
352         if (helper->fbdev == NULL) {
353                 DRM_ERROR("failed to attach nouveaufb\n");
354                 goto out_unlock;

the real question is why can't VGA memory be mapped.
