Interesting... I suspect there is an endian bug in the new font code that hits odd sized fonts (or non-multiple-of-8 fonts). Can 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.
