Then if i try to switch to any vt with fbsplash enabled then the machine will lock hard, completely frozen.
ck-sources is not a supported kernel - http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml#doc_chap3
Ok, but I did get the same BUG_ON with vanilla and gentoo-sources, but i dont have them installd anymore. plus i dont think the ck-patchset touches anything related to this.
Does this happen without the binary nvidia module loaded?
