Package: kernel-source-2.6.9
Version: 2.6.9-1
Severity: important
This is probably related to bug #279648. There are some reports in there
that sound like they are actually this bug.
VesaFB doesn't work (blank screen) if compiled in statically in
version 2.6.9. The same configuration worked with kernel-source-2.6.8.
If I compile VesaFB as a module and load it via /etc/modules (I don't
use initrd) the display works after the module has been loaded. Is there
any more info you need about my kernel or lilo configuration?

Lets start by cleaning up the bugs. I am closing 309682 as it is a
duplicate of 279648. I am also closing 28223 as on examining the
kernel-source-2.6.11 source it appears to be fix, if someone has
experience to the contrary, please reopen it. And I am reassigning
279648 and 282234 to kernel-source-2.6.11 as it is currently assigned to
kernel-source-2.6.9 which has not been suported for quite sime time now.
I don't even think it is on d.o anymore. And as to the severity of the
bug, I don't believe the guidlines specify age as a parameter for bug
seveirty.
As for 279648 itself, the bug report seems to indicate that disabling
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB (a very green piece of code introduced in 2.6.11 bug
probably not ready for prime time) resolves the problem, and the current
kernel-images (for i386 at least) do just this. Could you take a look
in your kernel config and if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB is enabled, please
disable it.
Thanks
