This commit causes booting to fail: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git;a=commit;h=32c87fca2fac490e34a9fa900b45f2fbb4faacf9 (drm/radeon: use system_wq instead of dev_priv->wq). The machine locks up with a black screen. Hardware: HD3850/RV670, Athlon64, x86_64.
How did you determine the commit was the offending one? Have you bisected it? Does reverting the above commit fix the black screen? Thanks.
I used: commit add NI pci ids (no boot) git reset --hard HEAD~30 (no boot) git reset --hard HEAD~100 (booted) git reset --hard HEAD~40 (booted) git reset --hard HEAD~31 (booted) and compiled in that order. git checkout origin/drm-radeon-testing was issued before each git reset.
Closing as obsolete, if this is still seen on modern kernels please update
