I recall to have seen in the Linux kernel help documents, that setting
the screen blanking option by APM within the kernel and using gpm
could cause errors like this one on certain BIOSes.
Of course, the problem may be something else. But, just to be sure
... did you recompile your kernel, or are you running the kernel
supplied with Debian?
