I have perhaps a similar problem with a radeon drover in the 3.2.3-2 
kernel. The 3.1.9-1 kernel works fine. The new kernel spews out garbled 
messages, something about failing to locate some number of pages. In the 
old days of the serial port, you could pipe these messages to another 
machine. Any suggestion on how to capture the messages, and what to do 
about the kernel distribution. Does it need a driver from RPMFusion? I 
did not see one.

Thanks
