--- Comment #2 from Matthias Apitz <guru at unixarea.de> ---
I have an USB disk with 11-CURRENT (r269739) and in /boot/loader.conf set:

kern.vty=vt
i915kms_load="YES"

while the disk boots fine on Acer EeePC 900 and Acer Aspire One D250,
it gives on Dell E6330 a black screen after some seconds of booting and
the system seems to hang; only power-cycle is possible; commenting-out
the i915kms_load line, the system boots up fine;

as it is reproduceable fine, I'm willing to help and insert debug messages
if someone could guide me through; thx
