At least you norrowed down, that was the idea. |

I would suspect a new bug, so post to the radeon mailing list. Doing the git |
| 30 |
bisect first will make it easier for them so they'll be more willing to help. I |
| 31 |
would try booting without those radeon paremeters first. |

You could try the proprietary driver but the one in the portage tree will not |
| 34 |
build with a kernel >3.18.19 but if you search b.g.o there are patches to make |
| 35 |
it build. Or you could try my ebuild but I'm not sure that it will build |
| 36 |
either since I'm using 3.18.20 now: |
