Possible, yes - reassigning this bug to the kernel package for follow-
up.
** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) = linux (Ubuntu)
** Summary changed:
- [powerpc] Text theme used even when logo theme is configured
+ [powerpc] built-in radeonfb driver prevents KMS from running
--
[powerpc]
I am also hit by bug 570228. Apparently this bug is the cause of
/dev/dri* not being present. When I turn off KMS the device node is
present - /dev/dri/card0.
I found a relevant thread here -
http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/how-activate-kms-radeon-video-card-powerpc-help-196523701.html
Is udev running on this system? Does /dev/dri show anything at all? I
see from your /proc/modules that the drm driver is loaded and
referenced, but OTOH, /proc/fb appears to list a non-drm framebuffer.

Ok, here's the critical section of the log:
[./plugin.c]create_backend:creating renderer
backend for device /dev/dri/card0
[./plugin.c] load_driver:Attempting to load
driver '(null)'
[./plugin.c]
Please find attached the log.
When I boot with the option you specified although the machine boot up, GDM
never came up. Is that expected?
