Subject: Re: [DNG] Boot hangs with new kernel
Hello Alessandro.

Several quick observations

1. You can attach a file to your email instead of pasting text. That helps with
    readability.
2. When there is a failure in the kernel, there is a neat "[ cut here ]" mark.
    That means that the content under that mark is what is relevant to the
    problem.
3. tomoyo is a LSM (linux security module), from Japan. It's in the same style
    as AppArmor and SELinux.


With that out of the way, about the hang. To me, it seems pretty clear...
There's an issue with the graphics driver:

> [ 2075.240903] ------------[ cut here ]------------
> [ 2075.240912] Can't enable IRQ/MSI because no handler is installed
> [ 2075.240972] WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 3136 at drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/r100.c:727 r100_irq_set+0x93/0xb0 [radeon]


Can't make head or tail of whatever else from the partial logs you pasted.

It hangs, yet you can use your keyboard? Can't you access your ttys? If you have
access to your ttys, then you can do live troubleshooting. You can look at what
is running and what should be running. You can try to start/restart the X
server. All that stuff.

Seems like the kernel loads properly, but the rest of the boot process isn't. A
point to look into.

Cheers,
                 Ludovic
