Yes, I think I can. Please give me instructions... I have a git
repository tracking Linus' one. 

BTW, maybe I'm on dope, but thinking hard, it seems to me that the blank
screen happens nly when I cold reboot after a crash forced me to
poweroff abruptly the laptop. Last time happened after a battery runoff.
It's that possible?

Moreover, I see a lot of flashing on shutdown (I'm sure I've seen a
report like that, but I am unable to dig it out now)...

Thanks,
	Romano
