Thanks, and sorry for the slow response.
Since this is reproducible with a recent kernel, we should be able
to get help from upstream. Please report this at
<http://bugs.freedesktop.org>, product DRI, component DRM/Radeon, and
let us know the bug number so we can track it.
Be sure to mention:
- steps to reproduce, expected result, actual result, and how the
difference indicates a bug (should be simple enough here)
- which kernel and userspace versions you have tested and results
from each
- (uncompressed) "dmesg" output and /var/log/Xorg.0.log from an
affected boot, as attachments
- what is the nature of the freeze? Can you toggle capslock? Does
ctrl+alt+delete work? Do the magic sysrq keys work?
- if you can get one, a kernel log of the freeze would be excellent.
Sometimes netconsole[1] or a serial console[2] works to get one.
- a link to http://bugs.debian.org/680097 for the backstory
If we're lucky, the symptoms will ring a bell for someone upstream, or
someone will have an idea of commands or a patch to try to track this
down further.
Thanks again for your patience, and sorry I have no better ideas,
Jonathan
