Created attachment 21954 [details] dmesg when booting linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 (2.6.30-1, Debian/Sid) System: Debian/sid, KMS enabled (module i915 modeset=1 loaded) Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.70 GHz Chipset: 852GM/855GM After upgrading the kernel-image to linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 (Debian/Sid) booting ends with a black screen,not starting X, no more key input. This only happens when KMS is enabled by loading module i915 modeset=1 at boot time. Loading module i915 modeset=0 boots normally. This issue doesn't occur with linux-image-2.6.30-rc8-686 (snapshot 13741) and previous releases from Debian kernel-archive. Regards, Jos van Wolput

Reassigned this regression to DRI.
Have you tried bisecting this?
(In reply to comment #4) > Have you tried bisecting this? No I didn't and I don't intend to do, sorry. I am using binary linux images from Debian, don't compile the kernel myself. I tried once more booting 2.6.30 after compiling the latest git version of xserver. This too didn't succeed. So I keep using rc8.

I can no longer check this bug entry, I am no more using this computer while the disk crashed.
Ok marking as unreproducible. If you get your machine going again and still see this issue with recent kernels, please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org against drm/intel using the instructions at intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
