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
Is this with a binary-only module? We saw an issue with that in SLES9
where the module is returning a locked page from its nopage handler
when it isn't really supposed to. It might be fixed in latest drivers,
have you tried them?
Thanks,
Nick
