I have found that if I read the news feed on the main page, in the announcements, on this mailing list or even in the changelog, that I am able to quickly resolve most problems. For example, Changing to the new sata-like links for all my PATA drives was a little weird at first, but after just one flawed reboot in grub (forgot to set the parameters), I'm now running on the latest and greatest instead of clinging to the old stuff that I believe will eventually leave the kernel. These kernel issues like other people have said, just happen as a result of the kernel updates.

What I did to solve it was to rename my xorg.conf to some dummy filename, and start X (which worked fine). After putting the xorg.conf back, I found there were some lines in my xorg that were no good, namely the lines about AGPFastWrite and the AGP speed which was set to 8x. I'm sorry I'm not at my laptop so I don't have the specifics I removed, but if you'd like to see my xorg.conf I can send it, though I am using the radeon driver.
