At Dave's suggestion I wrote to Evgeni Golov, the v86d maintainer, who is super responsive. Last try he had me rebuild the v86d package w/o a patch he had put in it.
Turned out not to help, still got: ...Aug 15 16:03:46 debian kernel: [ 1.108612] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-3) Aug 15 16:03:46 debian kernel: [ 1.108678] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22 Aug 15 16:03:46 debian kernel: [ 1.108738] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22
... at boot and no framebuffers. Stay tuned. Hugo
