Public bug reported:

Every now and then, following no particular pattern that I can discern,
my installation of Hardy (up-to-date) fails to boot.

The usplash bar bounces back and forth until I force a restart.

If I hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, I get the following messages:

[86.772416] ATI1.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5)
[121.879145] ATI1.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5)

and then the following lines repeat forever (or as long as I've let
them, which is several minutes).

[gradually incrementing number] ATI2.00 exception
[gradually incrementing number] ATI2.00 command
[gradually incrementing number] ATI2.00 status {DRDY}

This is on a brand new Dell Inspiron 530. It happens maybe one in twenty
boots, and occurs before the normal lines about not finding a hibernate
image.

Is this perhaps a BIOS issue, or is it more likely a kernel bug?
