mgag200 hangs like this on startup, on a Dell PowerEdge 12g box. The serial console says:

This is 3.5.0, but the bug is not fixed in 3.5.2. When the hang happened, the actual vga output declared that it had no signal, according to the iDRAC remote management.
The hang is:

insmod is taking 100% cpu.
Is there anything I can do to debug this? I don't really need mgag200, since I do pretty much everything via serial console.
