Thought about CCing Linus to show him that 2.6.39-rcX isn't as "calm" to everyone, but then chose to CC Maciej instead: Would you be so kind and add this to your regression list? Thanks!
Since commit 38f1cff
From: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:34:41 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Merge commit '5359533801e3dd3abca5b7d3d985b0b33fd9fe8b' into dr This commit changed an internal radeon structure, that meant a new driver in -next had to be fixed up, merge in the commit and fix up the driver. Also fixes a trivial nouveau merge. Conflicts: drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_mem.cbooting my atom/NM10/ION2 system crashes hard during boot, right after blanking the screen, and before the initramfs gets loaded. I just re-checked: both parent commits ( 5359533 and 4819d2e ) do indeed work just fine, but the merge commit ( 38f1cff ) fails, same as tip ( 85f2e68 ).
Can you activate netconsole and check whether kernel spits anything interesting? You might try to load nouveau module after boot - maybe something will be saved to /var/log or you could even ssh into the box and check dmesg...
Compiling it as a module seems to work fine. When I do so, no regression is obvious from what gets reported in "dmesg". However, somehow I now do get some output: The last message I see is
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: allocated 1680x1050, fb 0x40.... b0 <some pointer value>
Then, nothing more. However, it really is quite strange why this error only appears in the CONFIG_NOUVEAU=y case, not in the =m case...
Best, Dominik
