2.6.31-rc1 with kms enabled i915 driver panics here on my thinkpad x61s/gm965 with some errors in framebuffer driver. 2.6.30 works fine. Since it's late here no further investigation for today.

Same for me. I was gonna file a bug yesterday, but there is one already (I guess I'll add a comment with confirmation today):
