+The install is complete.  Booting into the new system results in the 
+usual framebuffer display and normal console display when I hit ESC.  
+However, plymouth on tty1 never ends, and X doesn't get started on any 
+of the ttys.
+
+There is an Xorg.0.log file which indicates that X takes a segfault.  
+I'll assume that others are getting the same symptom, but I can provide 
+the stacktrace (and log file) if wanted.
+
+The messages prior to the stacktrace in the log are:
+    AIGLX error: r600 does not export required DRI extension
+    AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
+    ...
+    (II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 361 x 203
+
+An explicit "service dm start" produces the same result.
+
+This is a Radeon HD3200.
