           Summary: Fiji Nano long boot up and long X startup with

Output of dmesg after startup.

With AMD Powerplay enabled in the kernel (cloned from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/?h=amdgpu-powerplay)--when the
computer boots there is text, as usual, before modesetting tries to switch to
the native resolution of the monitor.  At this point, the monitor backlight
turns off for about 5 seconds and then stays on for approximately 2 minutes
displaying nothing as if the computer locked up with no other boot activity
occuring.  The Alt+PrintScreen+E/I/U/R button combo still works at this time. 
If left alone the system finishes booting normally after about 2 minutes. 
dmesg gives these new error/messages: "Failed to send Previous Message." and
..."[drm] ib test on ring 12 succeeded" that I have not noticed when AMD
Powerplay is disabled.

Trying to run, "startx" at the console also simulates a system freeze for about
2 minutes or so then X starts normally.

To work around the long boot and long X startup bug the kernel option, "Device
Drivers/Graphics support/Direct Rendering Manager/Enable legacy fbdev support
for your modesetting driver" must be set with, "n".  This gives a black screen
or no console after the machine boots to log in blind with.  X can also be
started blind and displayed normally with no startup delay.  Another option is
to autologin with KDM or such like to boot directly into X after legacy fbdev
has been disabled in the kernel options.

With AMD Powerplay disabled in the kernel there are no startup issues.

Toggling or including/excluding these kernel boot, "lilo.conf" options have no
effect on the bug: "amdgpu.enable_scheduler=0 ; radeon.modeset=1 ;
radeon.hw_i2c=1 ; radeon.disp_priority=2 ; radeon.fastfb=1 ; radeon.backlight=1
; radeon.pcie_gen2=-1 ; radeon.hard_reset=0"

These patches (applied and not applied) have no effect on the bug:

Sidenote: hang check timer is disabled in the kernel.
