Maybe - but squeeze kernel is 2.6.32, and i am reluctant to go
backwards. At some stage between lenny and squeeze, there is this
whole rigmarole of grub -> grub2, and changes in udev, and dependency
based booting etc. Downgrading the kernel may or may not lead there,
but i would not go down that path, if i can help it.
Disabling KMS solves the problem, as i wrote in another mail.
Thanks for your help.
