Bug#1037468: nvidia-driver: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x25:0x65:1457)

[Allan Wind]

Package: nvidia-driver
Version: 525.105.17-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The upgrade to 12 was smooth except the nvidia-driver did not load 
after rebooting on my Lenovo P51 with:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206GLM [Quadro M2200 Mobile] (rev a1)

I get a few dmesg then a blank screen with a cursor.  Not able
to change to a virtual terminal. I also also tried the version in 
experimental with similar effect:

I do have non-free-firmware enabled and hence the nvidia firmware.  
Upgraded bios to latest version  No difference if I use 
linux-image 6.1.0-9-amd64 or 5.10.0-23-amd64.

The only semi-workaround is to uninstall the nvidia driver and 
rely on nouveau.  Surprisingly to me, nouveau, doesn't seem to 
require the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package to be installed(?).
