Screen makes blank during boot the new gentoo-sources-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 There was no problem with kernels before this "stable" release.

The same problem with the latest gentoo-sources kernel (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.33)
This looks the same as https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15030 But they say it's fixed in 2.6.33. Can you test with vanilla-sources-2.6.33.2. On failure, it might be worth testing the latest git-sources and participating in the already opened upstream bug.
Thank you for response. The same problem with vanilla-sources-2.6.33.2. I'll try to test it with latest git-sources at evening (gmt+3), and write a result here.
There is no problem with git-sources-2.6.34_rc3-r8, thank you. I'll wait for for stable 2.6.34 with this kernel.
Hi! I had the same problem, when KMS enabled with 2.6.32*. I solved it by compiling the i915 driver into the kernel (i didn't worked as a module).
AAARrgh! sorry, i had 2 typo's in 2 lines.... So what i wanted to say is, that i had the same problems using 2.6.33*, and IT wasn't working as a module only...
Can someone confirm that this works with 2.6.34, please.
Using gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r2, I get a blank screen on boot. Building i915 and intel_agp into the kernel fixed the problem. So this is still broken. I was previously using 2.6.31-gentoo-r6, with both i915 and intel_agp as modules. It worked without issues.
