Interesting... I suspect there is an endian bug in the new font

you try enabling 8x8 and 8x16 instead of 6x11 and 7x14 fonts and  
tell me if those work ?

Tony: If my suspition is confirmed, I think that's your call :)

It probably is, a remnant of the console rotation code.  If that is  
truly the case, the patch I just sent in another thread should fix it.

I ran into this same bug on my Dual 1GHz Windtunnel G4 with an  
upgraded GPU (Radeon 9800) in the 2.6.16-rc4 timeframe.  Turning off  
the customized console font selection and reverting to the default  
list of fonts fixed the problem for me.  I think I had the console  
rotation config option turned on, but I don't have that config any  
more and can't be sure.
