Hmmmph.
I get this problem, and always have, but I always put it down to my system.
I run Slackware 10, and this has always happened to me from 2.6.2
upwards on CRT 1024x768 and later TFT 1280x1024 dvi.
I use[d] in lilo:
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1280x1024x?k
vga=794
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
#vga=791
So you are not alone.

Hi,
I'm using the radeonfb driver with a radeon 7000 with the frambuffer
at 1280x1024 on a i386 system, with a 2.6.16.17 kernel. At boot time,
if I stop the messages with CTRL+s and try look the previous messages
with CTRL+PagUp (backward scrolling) the screen become unreadable. In
fact some lengthier lines are not erased scrolling backward and some
random characters a overwritten instead. So it's very difficult to
read the messages.
I don't have such problem with the frambuffer at 1024x768.
All the previous kernels I've tried have this problem (at least up to
2.6.15).
If someone can look at this issue I can provide further information.
Many Thanks.
Cheers,
~ Antonio
