Hrm... weird... could either be some problem with userland trying to
change the console font, or maybe some of the old problems with VGA
console vs. fbdev ... was your build really clean ? If you backup
your .config, do make distclean, restore .config, make oldconfig, and
rebuild, does it fix the problem ?
If not, try removing VGA console support
