Tried it but without ssh there is nothing in /var/log/messages after
restart. Only the following
 [drm] Module unloaded
 [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
 imklog 3.18.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
 After modprobe radeon modeset=1  everything freezes - no display,
touchpad, keyboard, only hardware reset helps. This way I cannot
extract /proc/kmsg. Is there another way to help with debugging? My
bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461545
