16.04 - Nouveau doesn't recognize my chipset (136000a1)

When I try to boot into a Live USB with 16.04.2 LTS, I get the following error:




[3.358556] core perfctr but no constraints: unknown hardware!



[4.154821] nouveau 0000:09:00.0: unknown chipset (136000a1)




[6.107481] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page found



[6.108023] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through




My monitor displays "Format not supported" and turns off. I can get a TTY prompt, but I'm not able to install an Nvidia graphics driver because /dev/loop0 is write-only.



"nomodeset rdblacklist=nouveau" does nothing as I don't have integrated graphics to fall back to.




My graphics card is a relatively new GTX 1060, and my CPU is a Ryzen.
