Hi,

I have tested the mainline kernel and also need to post a correction -
this issue also arises in both the mainline and 3.14-rc2 just at a
different stage to the earlier kernels

In the earlier kernels that i checked , the kernel would panic on boot
i.e. before getting to the X login screen. On both the 3.13 mainline and
3.14-rc2, the kernel panics when logging in- it seems that it locks up
when compositing is switched on but am not sure. I can't test this
completely in 3.14 as i cant get fglrx to compile against it (i see the
lockup happening when logging in).

I am able to boot and log into the kde session with compositing enabled
on 3.13 mainline when i put in nothreadirq as a param so not too
different from the earlier kernels

Bharat
