--- Comment #15 from Bc. Slavomir Danas slavomir.danas@gmail.com 2011-01-16 19:45:49 --- I've had this drm_kms_helper.poll=N kernel workaround in my grub since I've discovered it in 18802 bug (around 2.6.36-r2 i think) because I've suffered by the udev drm polling storm in 2.6.34, kslowd in 2.6.35 and kworker in 2.6.36. Since I've applied it everything was working smooth. I read the announcement about bug 18802 being duplicate of this bug and it being resolved as of 2.6.36-rc5 so I have removed this kernel setting and rebooted with my 2.6.37 kernel hoping that everything should be fine. But in few minutes the same symptoms appeared so I reverted back to drm_kms_helper.poll=N kernel option and everything seems all right again (with the workaround). I can provide more info on my HW or SW by request.
