The problem is happening right at boot. With DRM_RADEON_KMS enabled in my
kernel config, the screen goes black immediately after exiting the bootloader.
The machines is not wedged because <ctrl-alt-delete> still works.

If recompile with DRM_RADEON_KMS=n, the screen goes black (for longer than I'm
used to) but then I see the kernel printks and then a login prompt. When I try
to run X with xf86-video-ati I get an error message telling me that SUMO
requires KMS. So I'm currently working around by running with the VESA X
drivers.

This is a brand new machine which I just brought up yesterday. Windows seems to
work fine so I don't think its a hardware issue.

The motherboard comes with a VGA and an HDMI connector. I'm currently using the
VGA connector.
