I ran into this same bug on my Dual 1GHz Windtunnel G4 with an upgraded GPU (Radeon 9800) in the 2.6.16-rc4 timeframe. Turning off the customized console font selection and reverting to the default list of fonts fixed the problem for me. I think I had the console rotation config option turned on, but I don't have that config any more and can't be sure.
