2.6.11-rc3-bk9 hangs hard my laptop

2.6.11-rc3-bk9 hangs hard my laptop

[Alessandro Suardi]

Dell Latitude C640, PIV @1.8Ghz, 1GB RAM, uptodate FC2

-bk7 (which I currently rebooted in) is okay.
-bk9 at first try got me to the login prompt, logged in, ran startx...
 frozen with the black background before seeing anything.

Second try hung well before, at the point where it switches the
 radeonfb on.

Only cure is to keep the power button pressed for 10".

Will try building -bk8 (which is currently running on my
 old desktop K7-800) and report...

-bk8 which I'm now booted in is also OK, so something
 broke between -bk8 and -bk9... attached .config and
 /var/log/messages from the boot in -bk8 and the one
 in -bk9 which succeeded before hanging on startx.

Thanks in advance,

It's definitely the new radeon changes - replacing
 drivers/video/aty/* and include/video/radeon.h in the
 -bk9 tree with the ones from -bk8 causes the hang to
 not reproduce anymore. CC'd Ben and edited subject
 to more accurately reflect the issue.

Grrr... 

Can you try booting with radeonfb.default_dynclk=-1 and if it doesn't
help, radeonfb.default_dynclk=0 on the kernel command line ?

Also, what is the exact revision of the chip ? (send me an lspci -vv
dump).

Finally, what X version are you using ?

Ben.

I'm currently booted with -bk9 with default_dynclk = -1 :)

Excellent. You can help me track it down then. Can you look at
radeon_pm.c, function

radeon_pm_enable_dynamic_mode()

The code for your chip is after the comment "/* Others */" (the M7 is an
RV200 chip). Can you comment out the various bits in there and see if
you can locate which one is causing your problem ?

Thanks in advance !

Ben.

Commenting out pllCLK_PWRMGT_CNTL alone -> still hangs
Commenting out pllCLK_PIN_CNTL in addition -> works
 
Do you want me to build a kernel with only the pllCLK_PIN_CNTL
 instruction commented out or is this enough info ?

Thanks,

You mean you commented out the OUTPLL call ? Ok, what if
you only change pllCLK_PIN_CNTL? Also, try not changing it, but
commenting out some other bits ? (I'm especially the bits that touch
SCLK_CNTL). Sorry for all those tests, but I need to point more
precisely where the problem comes from...

Ben.
