You are right. A reboot broke things again. I made a lot of reboots now and I have not seen any pattern in when things break and when not.

I compared the dmesg output with drm.debug=0x04 from a working case and from a broken case: I did not see any differences besides minor changes in detected cpu frequency, BogoMIPS and the order of some lines about hard disks and network interfaces.

However, I guess I am missing something in my kernel configuration, because I see far less drm output than in the log file in comment #29.

$ grep drm dmesg
