Ok, I've been bitten by this bug again when doing an install of 11.3 and I
think I tracked down the issue to RAM. Whenever I boot a PAE kernel or an
x86_64 kernel using my full 4Gb RAM, the radeon module fails after firmware
loading with different errors ("ring test failed" with x86_64 and "could not
allocate 16 pages at 0x0000000" with i586), thus leading to the switch off of
GPU acceleration.
If I boot the kernel with "mem=3192M" I do not observe the issue with either
kernel. I would exclude a fault in RAM as this is the only abnormal behavior
I'm observing, but I will likely run memtest as a follow up.
