The system is actually an old Celeron on an Intel i865 based mainboard so the hardware should be pretty well supported I guess and after all - it did work with 7.0. The machine is only used as a router so the lack of virtual terminals aren't critical but I still would like to solve it. I will have the owner look for a more recent BIOS and then I'll reinstall the GENERIC kernel before filing a bug report. Here's a more verbose dmesg snippet that might give someone a clue: agp0: on hostb0 agp0: allocating GATT for aperture of size 128M vgapci0: mem 0xf8000000-0xf8ffffff,0xe0000000-0xefffffff,0xf9000000-0xf9ffffff irq 3 at device 0.0 on pci1 isab0: at device 31.0 on pci0 isa0: on isab0 sc: sc0 already exists; skipping it vga: vga0 already exists; skipping it isa_probe_children: disabling PnP devices isa_probe_children: probing non-PnP devices pmtimer0 on isa0 sc0: no video adapter found. sc0: failed to probe on isa0 vga0: failed to probe on isa0 atkbdc0: at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0 vt0: not probed (disabled) isa_probe_children: probing PnP devices What is that vt0 (disabled)? Is that related? pciconf reports this: pcib1@pci0:0:1:0: class=0x060400 card=0x00000000 chip=0x25718086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82865G/PE/P, 82848P PCI-to-AGP Bridge' class = bridge subclass = PCI-PCI isab0@pci0:0:31:0: class=0x060100 card=0x00000000 chip=0x24d08086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Interface Bridge' class = bridge subclass = PCI-ISA vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x2034107d chip=0x022010de rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Nvidia Corp' class = display subclass = VGA Googling on this turns up a lot of older posts with references to PnP incompatibilities and ATA but I can't find any info that helps me with syscons.
