I was wondering whether you are working on the radeonfb issue in 2.5 since forever that there is a lot of multicolored garbage on the screen initially when the kernel starts, and the first clear text seen are ACPI notices. Is it an issue of transferring what was written to the display in raw mode to the FB? The 2.4 radeonfb driver does not have this issue.
This is one of the last things on my 2.5 wishlist for me, I'll die a happy man if you can fix it :)
