Hardware:
00:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 215GP (rev
5c)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV20 [GeForce3 Ti200]
(rev a3)

Using ATYFB with CONFIG_FB_ATY, CONFIG_FB_ATY_CT and RIVAFB

2.4.20-rc2:
Kernel freezes upon loading the ATYFB driver.
No error messages.Sysrq has no effect.
Riva framebuffer alone works.


2.5.51:
Kernel freezes upon loading the ATYFB driver.
No error messages. Sysrq has no effect.

Riva (tested without atyfb) shows a black screen, apparently
followed by a kernel freeze since Sysrq has no effect.

Kernel without boots without framebuffer, so the framebuffer causes the
freeze.

Did you enable framebuffer console in the console sub menu?
