Kernel boot hang after grub selection (starting from v6.10.7)
I just came back to my machine after a while and after updating everything I was confronted with a boot hang with kernels in the 6.10 series starting with v6.10.7 and also the 6.11 series. Since v6.10.6 was working, I decided to spend some time doing a kernel bisect to find out what was blocking my boot process, and it seems to be a recent commit from nouveau that was pushed upstream.
Upstream commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/patch/?id=9b340aeb26d50e9a9ec99599e2a39b035fac978e
If I revert that commit and rebuild the kernel, I can boot any of the kernel versions that were previously stuck on boot.

Unfortunately, I can't catch any errors in the boot process, so I don't have a log file to provide at this time. Don't hesitate to ask me for more information if needed.
