Yes, it is. 2.6.21 was OK, but only within a narrow and
ill-characterized set of conditions (framebuffer not compiled into the
kernel, in particular.) It appears to me that the interaction between
STR and video on this system is extremely fragile, to the point that any
minor perturbations in the state can break it, and that that is the real
underlying problem here.
