due some hardware related problems I had the internal display swapped with a
new one (the internal display was occasionally flickering badly), and now the
situation is completely upside down: 2.6.37 works, while 2.6.36 doesn't
anymore. 

The flickering display problem was going on for some time, even back in the
2.6.35 and 2.6.36 times, and it was manifesting even during BIOS POST, hence
the thinking that it was a hw problem.

However, now I'm thoroughly confused about the current situation. Is the newer
display different and triggers different (inverse) behavior? I can't see any
meaningful difference in dmesg output of 2.6.37 between working and non
working...
