Details

Using the nouveau driver for Nvidia cards causes a kernel panic. The proprietary Nvidia driver with the same hardware doesn't get the kernel panics.
It happens with both the regular kernel (4.11.3-1) and the LTS kernel (4.9.30-1). According to user ingo66 on the forums[0], downgrading to 4.11.2-1 stops the kernel panics.

I am using an Nvidia GT 630 [NV108].

Steps to reproduce:
- boot into Arch Linux
- kernel panic happens either during the boot, or right as I'm about to log into a TTY (on a fresh install)
This task depends upon

It breaks too on my office desktop, kernel panic using nouveau driver. Revert back to 4.11.2 solved the panic temporarily.

There is a patch at the upstream bug report here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101184

I tested it and it fixes the issue. Other people confirmed it too. I guess we just have to wait for it to be applied upstream.

Kernel 4.11.5-1 fixes this.
