For the Athlon 2100, I get the following outputs and then the VGA 
console is frozen from further output (but it doesn't prevent the 
full bootup into X windows session of which I am able to resume 
normal Linux/X session, but not able to regain any virtual console 
session.)

hm.  Not sure what could have caused that.

This may be a problem in Gentoo's kernels, we offer an experimental 
version of vesafb... 

Disabling the VESAFB resulted in regaining control of the VTs (virtual 
terminals).
