  as a followup to my earlier post, i grabbed the current /boot/config
for my f11 x86_64 system, the current git kernel tree, did "make
oldconfig", took all the default answers, built a new kernel, rebooted
to get in, /var/log/messages:

  thoughts?  i *am* up and running at the command line so that's a
good sign, but given the grief i've had with radeon drivers lately,
this development doesn't really surprise me.

  given that this isn't an officially supported kernel, is there any
value in BZ'ing this?  i can supply /var/log/Xorg.0.log and everything
else that's usually relevant.
