Re: PROBLEM: Radeon card displays incorrectly under the 2.6.11 version unless compiled with SMP support

I'm sorry about the previous mail, it was sent
truncated. Here's the message in its entirety:

Dear Mr. Morton, I'm sorry to inform you that the
2.6.12-rc1 kernel version did not bring any
improvements regarding my problem.
I compiled it several times, using different options
settings but with no luck.
I'll sumarize once again the problem just to avoid any
confusions: I'm running Debian GNU/Linux on a AthlonXP
2800+/512Mb RAM/130Gb 2xHD/ASUS Radeon 9200SE
computer.
Since the 2.6.11 kernel, the graphic card would not
work properly as in the bootup process resulting in
some drm errors. Still, the 2.6.11, 2.6.11.2 and the
2.6.11.5 versions allowed the card to function
properly if I'd compile the kernel with SMP support
enabled.
The 2.6.12-rc1 kernel, even with SMP enabled, results
in the same errors, the card being unusable by the
DRM.
The card works perfectly under the 2.6.10 kernel
though.

I compiled 2.6.12-rc1 in 3 (three) different ways:
1. -AGP and AGP_ATI as built-in
   -DRM and DRM_RADEON as built-in
   -FB AND FB_RADEON as built-in; FB_RADEON_OLD as
module
2. -AGP and AGP_ATI as modules
   -DRM and DRM_RADEON as modules
   -FB and FB_RADEON as built-in; no FB_RADEON_OLD
3. -AGP and AGP_ATI as built-in
   -DRM and DRM_RADEON as built-in
   -FB AND FB_RADEON as built-in
 **-SMP support as built-in**

The results were the same, dmesg reporting each time:
"[drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called
without lock held
[drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 3889 using kernel
context 0" at the end.

I attached one of the .config files used (at no. 1),
maybe you'll be so kind to take a look over it just to
make sure it isn't my mistake.
I also attached a file containing the whole dmesg
report, for reference.
I also have the other two .config files and dmesg
reports if you need them.

Thank you for your time and I hope I'll be hearing
from you soon.

Regards, Andrei Lobiuc.
