boot -c , disable radeondrm (and also disable auto xdm start). See if you can zzz/resume from the console without radeondrm running. That will at least give us a place to start. Another thing you can try is seeing if the machine is in ddb on resume for some reason. Try a few (3 or 4) "bo re" commands (enter after each). See if the machine reboots, and if so you might have clues in dmesg after reboot. -ml
