sorry, I'll clarify.

I'm running all kernels with vga=0x318.
o kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 (2.6.8-4):
console is ok
o kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686 (2.6.9-1):
console is ok
does a kernel panic in timer.c:414 (imho because of the new introduced block
device UB)
o the selfbuilt kernel with make-kpkg from kernel-source-2.6.9 (2.6.9-1):
console is NOT ok (nothing displaying, but kde is ok)
no problems with UB, because it's disabled.
find the changes between the .config of the original debian
kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686 and my selfmade kernel from kernel-source-2.6.9:

as you can see, I've only changed the architecture (which has imho no
influence on the bug) and UB devices.
greetings & hth, Klaus
