Seems I am not the only one who ran into these problems. On my system, more
often than not it was not even usable via network anymore. Most prominent
indication of the problem is disk corruption here. The same kernel was
running some months without incident on that system, and the problems
manifested themselves after upgrading.
My work around was to disable OpenGL. This make the system quite stable
again, but I keep seeing these messages:
EXT3-fs error (device dm-6): ext3_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 163841
I have given up on this. This was my primary development system running
Debian sid/unstable and I have no idea how to diagnose the problem.
I have since gotten me a shiny new system which starts being usable despite
the Radeon HD 3300 graphics card. Once it is working, I can make the system
available to ssh access if that would be of any help. I won't count on
somebody working on 9200 drivers anymore. :-((
