Hi Daniel,
At the bottom of this message you will find dmesg output showing this
problem from the current Linus GIT tree.
Here is the test of the message you wrote about this
(http://marc.info/?l=dri-devel&m=135905755124554&w=2):
--------------------------
Patches for the know issues around console_lock vs fbdev_notifier are in -mm:
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/fb-rework-locking-to-fix-lock-ordering-on-takeover.patch
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/fb-yet-another-band-aid-for-fixing-lockdep-mess.patch
Unfortunately the patches seem to be stuck there for now despite quite
a few reports about this (including seemingly relevant background
noise about hangs in distro bugzillas).
