Ok. Tested it with plain 2.6.12-rc1-bk6 kernel. It crashes (black
screen, no keyboard) but the hard disk continues spinning.

Test 2.6.12-rc1-bk6 kernel plus this last patch and without the others:
1) Boot in console mode.
2) Start X (DRI enabled). It crashes (blank screen, no keyboard, hdd on)

The same test but with DRI _disabled_:
1) Boot in console mode.
2) Start X and goes well. Normal exit, but with green vertical slashes
for a few seconds (like the other times).

I've seen every time it crashes, at the beginning of boot time it pauses
for 4 or 5 seconds just at the line:
"radefonfb: Dynamic Power Clock Management enabled"

I wish this information can help you. :-) If you need something else,
tell me.

Thanks.

Esteban.
