Description

Is this a new report?

Yes

System Info

Void 6.6.10_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rF

Package(s) Affected

linux6.6-6.6.10_1, xf86-video-nouveau

Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

No response

Expected behaviour

Expect to boot without delay of two minutes with current kernel 6.6.10_1, nouveau drivers, and enabled videocard NVIDIA GP108M GeForce MX150.
As it happened before updates with kernel 6.1.x

Expect to poweroff. Computer can't poweroff.

Actual behaviour

Two minutes boot delay and message
udevd worker /devices/pci0000... is taking a long time.

PC does not shut down properly at all after "sudo poweroff".

This appeared after update and still happens with kernel 6.6.10_1,
does not happen with lts kernel 6.1.x

Anything of the following removes boot delay and shutdown problem:
Booting with earlier kernel 6.1.x
Disabling discrete videocard in BIOS
Installing non-free nvidia drivers

  2. Enable NVIDIA GP108M GeForce MX150 discrete videocard

Research direction

Start with the reported linux6.6-6.6.10_1 and xf86-video-nouveau packages, then reproduce the two-minute boot delay and failed poweroff with the NVIDIA GP108M enabled. Compare that behavior with kernel 6.1.x, with the discrete GPU disabled, and with the non-free NVIDIA driver; done means the current nouveau setup boots and powers off normally.
