Black screen with KMS on kernels 3.5-3.7, no logs.
With 'nomodeset' option it works but X crashes later.

I presume that means the screen goes black when radeon KMS initializes, and after a reboot there's nothing about it in log files?

Have you tried waiting for a couple of minutes to see if it comes up eventually?

Did it work with 3.4 or older kernels?

If you mean what's shown in the attached Xorg.0.log, that's because xf86-video-ati 7.0 no longer works without KMS.


P.S. Please don't attach compressed files unless necessary.

Wait 5 minutes - nothing. No activity of hdd,wifi leds. Numlock not work.

Last working kernel was 3.4.

Can you bisect between 3.4 and 3.5?
Comment 7 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2012-11-17 20:02:52 UTC
You could check if radeon.r4xx_atom=1 kernel parameter makes a difference.

No difference

Bisect result:

Built the latest kernel from git without this patch - KMS works.

(Another suspect was 6a7068b4ef17dfb9de3191321f1adc91fa1659ca - not sure whether they are related to each other)
