I think you are on the wrong list. Nvidia have kernel source code, we
don't have code to their proprietary stuff. Only they can help you.

It's quite possible the box is hanging so hard that kdb can't help you.
In that case you'll again need someone with their proprietary Nvidia
source to help you.
