I have to load v86d after the real system is up (and before Xorg, as the radeon driver does something which lets uvesafb segfault). Could you please try the following: 1. Load uvesafb from /etc/modules and not from initrd 2. Rebuild v86d without 01_use-external-libx86.patch and test in initrd again. 3. And outside of initrd too. When no of the three will help, I'll prepare you an unpatched 0.1.6 from upstream for testing. Regards Evgeni
