kernel log

Hi. I recently updated Linus' kernel tree to revision 0eddb519b9127c73d53db4bf3ec1d45b13f844d1 (2.6.34-git), nouveau DDX from git to revision 4063616938f76af8028491276039d422c0782b1b and libdrm, also from git, to revision 894c86e8400f13f1ee0dfe23ca4b5f98c32d9223. Then I recompiled all the code in following order 1) kernel; 2) libdrm; 3) DDX. And rebooted - after starting X left several seconds system hangs up, I think that was kernel panic because CapsLock was blinking and system didn't respond on any attempts to reboot, even SysRq didn't help.

With 2.6.34-rc3 same versions of DDX and libdrm work fine. The interesting fact that there is nothing in kernel log and syslog about this.

It works good with 2.6.34-rc4, seems this bug can be closed. Sorry for panic :)
