I upgraded to 2.6.35.3 from 2.6.32 yesterday. Today, I found that my system no longer wants to talk to my monitor. Specifically, when I boot normally (KMS enabled), the boot process gets to approximately where KMS would become active, and then the screen shuts off. (I saw the other bug where the screen shuts off for about a minute and then comes back up; no dice here. After five minutes, still dead.) (It's possible that this is a hardware bug, since the system worked fine with 2.6.35.3 last night, and only fails now. However, the timing is extremely suspicious - I've been using this monitor with this video card for years, and had a working KMS setup for quite a while.) I can ssh in after a while, so I know that the rest of the system boots fine - it's just the display that's broken. Looking at /var/log/messages, I get the following error repeated about every ten seconds: Aug 30 14:06:36 localhost kernel: [ 342.308958] [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 197 Aug 30 14:06:36 localhost kernel: [ 342.308961] [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID: Aug 30 14:06:36 localhost kernel: [ 342.308963] <3>00 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 0d af 28 22 01 01 01 01 ..........("....

Created attachment 28551 [details] My .config (2.6.35.3)
What hardware is this? Is this still an issue with a newer kernel?
