This sounds like fbdev driver is no longer working after the kernel has been rebooted with KMS modules (radeon/nouveau depending on graphics hardware) is active. This would be bad. Could you verify that radeon/nouveau module is loaded with lsmod? Is KMS active? Check with 'cat /sys/module/radeon/parameters/modeset' resp. 'cat /sys/module/nouveau/parameters/modeset'.
This can't be the reason on NVIDIA since we do not add nouveau kernel module to initrd at the moment - due to a seperate bug (already tracked). (In reply to comment #7)
The nouveau driver is not used because of something that looks like another bug:
That's a seperate issue, which should be fixed with M5. Here I'm talking about the nouveau kernel module. But as stated above that can't be the reason. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Similar for ATI. aliases are missing in radeon module on kernel 2.6.33. So radeon module is not added to initrd with ATI graphics either. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
