We cant really do much as how it looks to me. So please report and help upstream track the bug and fix it.

I get a similar output in dmesg but not for nvidia hardware. I have an IvyBridge i7-3770K with iGPU (HD 4000).

Short version is here and full dmesg is attached.

I have a similar situation with kernel version 3.5.3-1 and nouveau drivers. I have the same error in the original report, attached for completeness. Also for further bug testing please find attached a complete system report from HardInfo 0.5.1 (without benchmarks). Fixed by rolling back to kernel 3.4.7-1 for now.

I have pretty much the same situation with kernel 3.5.3-1 and nouveau drivers. I have a gtx 560. I get this error after booting and an unusable screen because it keeps showing the messages attached in the file. I had boot into run level 3 to be able to roll back to previous kernel so I could work. Everything is fine with 3.4.7-1

Could you guys post your respective logs on the upstream bug report, it's still stubbornly sat at the "NEEDINFO" stage, perhaps your information will be enough for the nouveau developers to debug the problem. It'd also show that it's affecting a greater number of users than just me and Kevin. :P

Similar support for WorMxy's comment, reported upstream. For those having difficulty finding the specific bug (as I did):

I have a nouveau system with the card NVIDIA Corporation G86M [Quadro FX 360M] (rev a1), and though it boots and runs (apparently) OK, however when I shutdown (after running KDE desktop with desktop effects switched on) I get a hang for some seconds after the x session ends, with a message on the console "GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon" which is the same as you have. I also notice that in my kernel log I have two lines:

Sep 11 09:37:35 localhost kernel: [ 389.092546] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 3/0 Mthd 0x0060 Data 0x8000000f
Sep 11 09:40:11 localhost kernel: [ 545.848393] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 3/5 Mthd 0x1b00 Data 0x00000000

The laptop continues to run and the screen appears normal - however I don't see the GPU lockup message in the logs - and only on the console during shutdown but this does look related to what you are all seeing?

I suppose this is a related to these upstream bugs:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53101
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53566

I guess the above bug was not marked as duplicate yet.

That's the bug report I included in the original bug report at the top of this page. :P
Comment by Mike Cloaked (mcloaked) - Friday, 28 September 2012, 19:19 GMT
Ah! Forgive my blindness! I hope that a new package will be available soon so that this can be resolved.
Comment by Lubosz Sarnecki (lubosz) - Saturday, 29 September 2012, 13:14 GMT
This issue was fixed upstream. You can use linux-nouveau-git. Did not test linux-mainline.
Comment by WorMzy Tykashi (WorMzy) - Saturday, 29 September 2012, 19:12 GMT
Can confirm that linux-nouveau-git works.
Comment by WorMzy Tykashi (WorMzy) - Monday, 01 October 2012, 10:01 GMT
Can also confirm that the problem is fixed in 3.6 proper, so this bug report can be closed now/when that kernel hits the repos.
