After working around lvm breakage so I could at least boot 2.6.33, I'm now finding the next problem --- X doesn't work. If I let X come up, it doesn't find any mouse or keyboard devices, so my machine becomes useless and I have to power cycle it unless I can log in remotely and reboot it. It worked just *fine* using 2.6.33-rc4. I have no xorg.conf file (X is autoconfiguring itself) and I'm using an Ubuntu 9.10 userspace. I've enclosed the dmesg output (which shows the input devices correctly being detected by the kernel) and the Xorg.0.log file from the previous boot, where X does not come up. At this point, I'm not going to be able to dogfood test my ext4 patches I plan to push to Linus, since 2.6.33 is completely useless to me. Hopefully running the regression tests under KVM is going to have to be good enough. Grumble. - Ted
