I booted -rc8 and found that my video worked for only a few seconds, then it goes blank. -rc7 and -rc6 do the same. -rc5 is OK.
The only significant difference that I can see in the kernel message log is this:
from 2.6.37-rc5:
[drm] initialized overlay support i2c i2c-3: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x50, len=1 i2c i2c-3: master_xfer[1] R, addr=0x50, len=1 i2c i2c-3: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x50, len=1 i2c i2c-3: master_xfer[1] R, addr=0x50, len=128 fbcon: inteldrmfb (fb0) is primary device Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64 fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device drm: registered panic notifier [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0
and from 2.6.37-rc6:

Full kernel boot logs are in http://www.xenotime.net/linux/logs/ (2637-rc5.notimes and 2637-rc6.notimes).
The 2.6.37-rc5 kernel config file is attached. It is close to an allmodconfig.
