Hi, I'm using the most recent kernel — 3.5.3, before switching to it I used 3.5.0. I'm using amd64 Gentoo Linux. The problem is radeon driver is completely unable to load on my laptop (Dell Vostro 3350) Here're some outputs: $ dmesg | grep radeon [ 6.062962] [drm] radeon defaulting to kernel modesetting.

No, I'm just trying various kernel versions to get my card working. However, I just tried Fedora 17 live CD (kernel 3.3) and there radeon module loaded normally. So, I have to compare two linux kernel versions — 3.3 and 3.5.3 ?

Can you attach the dmesg from the working boot? > > So, I have to compare two linux kernel versions — 3.3 and 3.5.3 ? you might want to test 3.4 or even some early 3.5 kernels to see if you can narrow it down further. At that point you can use git to bisect and find what commit broke things.
