Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
After upgrading maverick (x86 32 bit system but with PAE kernel) system does not boot, after some disk activity the upper half of the screen is filled with garbage and no more disk activity. Booting an older kernel (from maverick) works. Also it work with natty's kernel if I give radeon.modeset=0 parameter at grub but then there is now hw accel. (glxinfo reports software rendering, booting natty with maverick's kernel seems to have it, glxinfo reports galium as the render string then).
This is a Toshiba Satellite A300 notebook with 4G of RAM and video hw:

Unfortunately, I can't send bug report related to the exact environment where bug occurs since system does not boot then at all. So this bug report was made when radeon.modeset=0 was used. Also, I couldn't find any usable information in kernel or Xorg log files ...
