Description:
Cannot log in at all with kernel 3.6.10-1 and an ATI 6950 - system freezes before any login prompts. This happens just before I usually get my login prompts.

with graphical.target:
I get a flashing or somtimes static blue screen (the blue from lxdm I think)

with multi-user.target I get a blank black screen.
This happens with or without the driver, I have tried removing X, remving xf86-video-ati, reinstalling kernel, re-running mkinitcpio, same problem.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
kernel - 3.6.10-1

* config and/or log files etc.


kernel 3.6.9 works, lts kernel works

Steps to reproduce:
boot kernel 3.6.10-1 and an ATI 6950
This task depends upon

Ok I reinstalled, everything now works... not a bug then, my bad.

I have no idea why it wouldnt work before I reinstalled, and it was just my 6950.
