Does this have any drawbacks regarding the use of xorg? (I haven't yet installed that...) I can confirm this problem exists on Sunblade100 with the 2.6.18-3 (Mon 4 Dec) and the same fix works. I have been using xorg and also using video=atyfb:off to avoid the "red dots" issue, no problems I can see, only the alternative consoles have some unusable frame outside, about 20% of the screen area.

Do you have more than one videocard in this machine? If that's the case, it might be that the machine is still booting, but the output goes to a different videocard.
