Call for testing: nouveau open-source nvidia driver

[Kjell Le]

With the latest kernel module backport my system is unbootable. The
problem is that I cannot report the bug to launchpad either...
Is there a way to install two kernel one with the backport and the
other without so it gets easier to report?
