Can you reproduce this with an upstream kernel? Can you bisect?
(Quick primer for reference:
git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
git bisect start
git checkout v2.6.39
make localmodconfig; # minimal configuration
make deb-pkg
dpkg -i ../<name of .deb>; reboot; test test test
git bisect bad; # since hopefully the screen gets garbled.
git checkout v2.6.38
make silentoldconfig
make deb-pkg
dpkg -i ../<name of .deb>; reboot; test test test
git bisect good; # since hopefully it works fine
# now it automatically checks out a rev halfway between
make silentoldconfig
make deb-pkg
dpkg -i ../<name of .deb>; reboot; test test test
git bisect good; # if it works, or
git bisect bad; # if the screen gets garbled, or
git bisect skip; # if some other bug makes this rev hard to test
git bisect visualize; # watch the regression range shrink.
rinse and repeat, stopping when bored.)
