I can't find a good kernel in the bunch - they all fail eventually. It may have been going in for as long as I've had this Haswell machine, and I was just lucky (and not rebooting a lot until in the merge window - and 4/5 boots work fine). It may also be user-space and have come in with the mesa update I got through yum yesterday. So there might be multiple reasons why I saw it today after the drm pull for the first time. The black screen - when it happens - happens after the fedora logo has flashed, and gdm is supposed to start up. I tried reproducing it by logging out and back in again (to restart X), but that doesn't do it. Maybe timing-related with boot or just demand-loading of binaries the first time, whatever.. Or mayby it's something special that gdm does at startup?
