@jamie -- i am unsure why the new kernel would provoke those more than before (or are we saying it didn't work before so you could not provoke it). But looking at the latest kernels this messasge is now officially gone from the kernel under the commit below, the commentary there implies this message is totally benign:
commit a8c051f0c8d2f81c665e820f765aaddf86161640 Author: Jean Delvare <kh...@linux-fr.org> Date: Fri Oct 8 14:34:49 2010 +0200 drm/radeon/kms: Silent spurious error message I see the following error message in my kernel log from time to time: radeon 0000:07:00.0: ffff88007c334000 reserve failed for wait radeon 0000:07:00.0: ffff88007c334000 reserve failed for wait After investigation, it turns out that there's nothing to be afraid of and everything works as intended. So remove the spurious log message.
