Actually I do get a crash in X later on... something in the radeon

interrupt code is getting what looks like a NULL dereference. I'll

at all though.

In this context, what does 'crash' mean? The X thingy goes down? Or
the whole OS?

Depends, with xmon enabled you get into xmon :-) Dunno if the oops is
fatal but it could be.

Cheers,
Ben.

As I think I have the same hardware as you (7,3, radeon 9600) If you
can tell me how to reproduce it maybe I can poke around a little.
Thus, at least temporarily, freeing you up for other stuff.

I kinda need a break from fighting with GCC.

FWIW, the problem Ben refers to might be fixed in current mainline by
commit d87dfdbfc91c5e37288e7e8f7afdd992ba61a60d which reverts

Mikael,

Something worth trying: turn off CONFIG_IDE.  That's what I need to
boot 2.6.39-rc[1-3] on PowerPC G5.

I know Jens has been fixing problems with IDE versus his plug/unplug
changes, but it's still not fixed for me in rc3.

In other mail http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/14/614
I see Linus recommending his post-rc3 commit 6631e635c65d
but I've not tried that myself yet.
