for a while in -git I've had an issue that on boot when gdm loads the screen stays black using ctrl-f1 doesn't return to a console and killing X doesn't help any ssh'ing into the box does work top only shows 100% io-wait dmesg shows nothing odd
the work around I have is at the moment is to just move the radeon drm module out of the way so it doesn't load on boot and X works just fine like that I did some bisecting which took a few days and tracked it down to commit d00806b183152af6d24f46f0c33f14162ca1262a
its way to complex for me to revert it on top of -rc1 to verify that's the issue tho I keep forgetting to get a trace of what its waiting on when I'm in that kernel I assume that would be of use and Ill get that later
the box this is happening on is a g4 mac mini the built in card is a radeon 9200 I'm not seeing any issues on an amd64 box with radeon card it's also a 9600 tho - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
