 Hi there,
 
 Just another data point -- I'm seeing the same behavior as described 
 above.
 
 I'm running a GTX 1070 and could not get nouveau going with 9.3. Tried 
 head kernel 9.99.106 and got further in that boot recognized the card 
 and tried setting up nouveau but the screen output hung. Under this 
 scenario, the final message I see on the console is:
 
 nouveau: fb: 8192 MiB GDDR5
 
 The boot process continues with no display updates, then I can ssh in 
 from another machine.
 
 Finally, I reinstalled 9.3 in bios mode, copied over the gpufw.tar.xz 
 and kern-GENERIC.tar.xz (both from HEAD) and installed them. Reboot, and 
 I get nouveau attaching to the 1070 perfectly, confirmed by
 
 pcictl pci0 list -N
 
 which gives:
 
 ...
 008:00:0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (VGA display, revision 0xa1) 
 [nouveau0]
 ...
 
 Hope this helps.
 
 Brian
