Oops, I am terribly sorry. We currently put i915 into the initramfs, and it gets loaded from there. When I built the module with the patch, I forgot to update the initramfs, so all these successful tests were actually done with the original i915 from 2.6.31rc1.

Later this afternoon some other package updated the initramfs, and now the screen goes entirely and irrecorverably black when booting, both when docked (external DVI) and when undocked (internal LVDS).

So, perhaps you should revert this from your tree until this is investigated further? So far, I don't seem to have this underrun problem at all with 2.6.31rc1, thus I leave the bug as "resolved".
