  just finished another "yum update" to get the
3.16.0-0.rc1.git3.1.fc21.x86_64 kernel, which is still showing the
exact same symptoms -- if i boot my ASUS G74S with HDMI connected to
my external ASUS VE228H monitor, after i get the fedora "infinity"
symbol for a couple seconds, total hang ... black displays, no virtual
consoles, need to power cycle.

  if, however, i simply unplug the external monitor from HDMI, no
problem, and i can plug in the monitor after booting. oh, and as
before, once i'm running under this new (but clearly broken) kernel,
when i go to shut down, massive kernel panic and stack trace.

  i can do more testing tomorrow, but this has now been an issue for
the last three rawhide kernel releases. is no one else seeing
something like this? more later ...
