Not sure this is related, but when I enable DRM_I915_KMS=y I'm got
stuck after boot too. When KMS is disabled I can at least get to the
console (no graphics)
This is with kernel 2.6.39-rc1.  It worked fine with 2.6.38. I don't
have much time bisect and reboot.  Shell I  try to pull drm-fixes for
rc2 or use try this patch?
