KMS/Radeon rainbow colors when booting .33 kernel

KMS/Radeon rainbow colors when booting .33 kernel

[Marc R. O'Connor]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have been having issues with KMS on 2.6.33-rcX kernels. When I boot
with modesetting=1 the kernel begins to load(I see beginnings of kernel
loading) then screen turns to a rainbow of colors(think aurora
borealis) that begins to fade to grey then black. 

I have followed the instructions here
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo for my radeon HD3650 card. I
have tried both built in and modules for radeon. I am not sure where 
els to look for issues. Is there anything else I can do to debug or fix
this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Marc!

Is it an agp card?

If yes you could try to boot with agpmode=-1 parameter for radeon module.

Pauli,

Nope, it is a PCI express card. I tried these steps last night:
- -loaded drm and radeon as modules
- -boot .33-rc5(which went fine) w/ no mode setting
- -then rmmod radeon
- -then modprobe radeon modeset=1

The second I modprobed radeon the screen went all rainbow colored then
faded to black. 

I am not sure what I am missing. 

Thanks for the help.

file a bug and attach your dmesg.  If kms was working previously, it
would be good if you could bisect to see what commit broke things.
