Same here on this morning's kernel (PST) on a Dell Precision 420 SMP system (Intel 840 chipset). The problem appears to also be present on an SMP kernel built on Nov 25th. No problems with UP kernels. It seems to be an output-related problem because I can login blindly to the machine to start X. Also, when I press Ctl-Alt-Del to shut the machine down, the "missing output" (banner, login prompts, shell prompts/commands) suddenly appears on the console.
