Can you reproduce this with an upstream kernel?  Can you bisect?

(Quick primer for reference:

	git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
	git bisect start
	git checkout v2.6.39
	make localmodconfig; # minimal configuration
	make deb-pkg
	dpkg -i ../<name of .deb>; reboot; test test test
	git bisect bad; # since hopefully the screen gets garbled.

	git checkout v2.6.38
	make silentoldconfig
	make deb-pkg
	dpkg -i ../<name of .deb>; reboot; test test test
	git bisect good; # since hopefully it works fine

	# now it automatically checks out a rev halfway between
	make silentoldconfig
	make deb-pkg
	dpkg -i ../<name of .deb>; reboot; test test test
	git bisect good; # if it works, or
	git bisect bad; # if the screen gets garbled, or
	git bisect skip; # if some other bug makes this rev hard to test

	git bisect visualize; # watch the regression range shrink.
	rinse and repeat, stopping when bored.)
