Bug#647858: linux-image-3.0.0-1-686-pae: loading kernel module viafb blacks out Sylvania G netbook

[Tzafrir Cohen <tzafrir@cohens.org.il>]

Update:

The system does not freeze on a 'modprobe viafb'. It merely blanks the
screen. If I disable loading this module, I will basically load. The
system will still hang at random a while later (several hours? more?).

I also tried a self-compiled 3.2.0-rc2 with the same results.

I was not able to get anyt sort of error trace of message from the hung
system, even when it was on the console.


I also ran the system under memtest86+ for several dayas. No issue
detected.
