Thanks.  Please attach output from "reportbug --template
linux-image-$(uname -r)", so we can get to know your hardware better.
Please also attach console messages from loading the module in
recovery mode, as obtained with netconsole[1], serial console[2], or a
digital camera.

Is this a regression, or is this the first time you've tried this?

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
