Okay, I tried the debug-patch from Yinghai (posted to the bugzilla):
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_device.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_device.c
@@ -325,6 +325,8 @@ void radeon_gtt_location(struct radeon_device *rdev, struct radeon_mc *mc)
mc->gtt_size = size_bf;
}
mc->gtt_start = (mc->vram_start & ~mc->gtt_base_align) - mc->gtt_size;
+ if (mc->gtt_start == 0xa0000000)
+ mc->gtt_start = 0x80000000;
} else {
if (mc->gtt_size > size_af) {
dev_warn(rdev->dev, "limiting GTT\n");
And this makes a difference, with this change on-top of -rc3 the box boots
fine. So there seems to be some dependency between the GART base and the GTT
base even when they are in different address spaces.
Alex, can you comment on this?

Joerg
