When booting 2.6.39.3 with radeon and KMS enabled the boot messages
stop at some point (clocksource switching to TSC or something) and
about 60 seconds later the screen turns into a noise pattern with some
irregularities on top (i.e. crash).

This happens when the radeon driver is built-in.

This can be triggered too when it is a module by "insmod radeon.ko"
when there is no provision to automatically load firmware (e.g via
/sbin/hotplug). The insmod hangs for `cat /sys/class/firmware/timeout`
seconds (default 60) and after that it crashes with identical
symptoms. When /sbin/hotplug is present for loading firmware
(radeon/RV620_pfp.bin, radeon/RV620_me.bin, radeon/R600_rlc.bin in this
case) then all goes well.

Because of this it is not possible to use a built-in radeon driver with
KMS enabled.
