Hi folks,

according to http://bugs.debian.org/607300 I have to rebuild 2.6.36.2
with CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y. Problem:

At boot time I get a message "waiting for /dev to be fully populated",
then the screen goes blank and the monitor enters power save mode.
2.6.36.2 without CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS didn't show this problem.

My grub2 configuration says

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep"

If I comment out these 2 lines and rebuild grub.cfg, then the problem
goes away, too. I just get a 80x25 display for grub in this case.


Please mail if I can help to track this down. I would be glad to
help.


Regards

Harri
