I use an radeon HD 4670 graphic card and can't boot with the 3.3-rc3 kernel,

The system just hangs and shows me the attached screen. MagicSysRQ not working.

Can you bisect?

Hi Alex,
I'm not that expert, but I think bisect has something to do with git?
I'll try to figure it out for myself, but it would be great if you could give
me step-by-step instructions what to do.

Okay, I found a description here: http://kerneltrap.org/node/11753 and hope
that cloning 2.6 is right.

Also, as a sidenode: The cursor (down left side of the screen) blinks for a few
seconds while the system still doesn't react to anything and shows the yellow
lines before the screen freezes, too.

I started with

git bisect good v3.2
git bisect bad v3.3-rc1

and every builded kernel had the issue (more or less, at some point near the
end the screen just goes to standby instead of freezing, but every time before
freezing/going to standby it showed the yellow lines)

So at the end I got this:

But how can a bluetooth change cause that? :(

Okay, I tracked this down more and was able to boot a 3.3-rc4 kernel. The
problem was that radeon and uvesa was compiled into the kernel.
