No useful data here... Oopses? Reboot? Endless loop? And did you built vgacon into the kernel? And I'm not sure that 2.6.0 can have both vesafb & matroxfb compiled in (well, you can compile in both, but I'm not sure what happens). And from your message above it looks like that you are building some vital matroxfb portions as a module. Please build them into the kernel unless you are really sure that you do not want console on them - while 2.4.x's console could use modular fbdevs, 2.6.x's console subsytem cannot do that. You can also try ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/matrox-latest/matroxfb-2.5.72.gz (if 2.6.0-test2-mm5 does not complain about unexported matrox_*_irq it will probably not apply cleanly to it). It restores fbcon subsystem to the 2.4.x's version.
