Sorry for disturbing the silence, but radeon seems to have issues. I
tested -rc3 (and after that -rc1 which also has the issue) on my Laptop
and it just reboots after (or while?) GFX initialization. The last lines
of dmesg are:

The problem does not happen with 2.6.38. I try to bisect this further down to a
commit. Alex, please let me know if you need any further information.
