OK; this has been intermittently ongoing since I reported it.  I had
thought that there might be some relationship with the "interrupt storm"
I saw with a Cisco 350 wireless card, but this morning, after building
CURRENT fresh and rebooting without that card, but using a serial
console, the "dark screen & no (working) keyboard" appears to be solid
and reproducible.

On the serial console (mind, this is on a laptop, so disabling the
internal keyboard is something that requires invasive surgery, as far as
I know), I see:

then the laptop's screen blanks, and on the serial console, I see:

drm0: <ATI Radeon Lf RV250 Mobility 9000 M9 / FireMV 2400 PCI> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child drm0 requested pci_enable_busmaster
info: [drm] AGP at 0xe8000000 64MB

vgapci0: Reserved 0x8000000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xe0000000

and the screen, rather than flickering & coming to life in graphics
mode, stays dark.

Hmm... I just saw (on the serial console):

ACPI Exception (utmutex-0376): AE_TIME, Thread 186AD could not acquire Mutex [0]
 [20070320]
ACPI Error (exutils-0180): Could not acquire AML Interpreter mutex [20070320]
ACPI Error (utmutex-0421): Mutex [0] is not acquired, cannot release [20070320]
ACPI Error (exutils-0250): Could not release AML Interpreter mutex [20070320]

and the screen flickered and finally(!) -- after about 20 minutes
-- came to life and things look "normal" now.

During the time that the screen stayed dark, I couldn't login via
the serial console, either; now that the screen is lit up, I have
a login: prompt that works (on the serial console).

The one thing  I can do when the screen is dark is hit Ctl+Alt+Esc on
the keyboard & break into the debugger on the serial console (well, I
can use the keyboard, but with a dark screen, it's hard to be sure what
I type, let alone what the responses are).

Is there any information I can obtain & provide that might be useful in
debugging this?

The machine is running:
