[Bug 1503927] [NEW] System Freeze with Kernel 3.19.0 after graphics startup (radeon)

 

Public bug reported:

The first restart after Kernel upgrade to 3.19.0-31 this morning, the
computer freezes when showing the graphical login-screen. Num-lock key
is non-responsive, hard reset is required. System is equipped with
Cypress XT [Radeon HD 5870] and runs the open source radeon driver.

Sometimes only  a black screen is shown and the system freezes, sometime
the Scroll-lock and Caps-lock keys are blinking (kernel-panik).

Starting the system with kernel version 3.16.0-36, it's rock-solid.
