If ati radeon driver is compiled as module all works fine, if it's
built-in into the kernel it starts with a black screen and waiting a few
minutes boot process starts with errors on the screen about R200_cp.bin
loading then init proceed regularly.

while compiled as module I got:

That's fine. Should I to compile this driver (CONFIG_DRM_RADEON) as
module definitely? Any tips to get it compiled built-in into the kernel
would be really appreciated, thank in advance.
