OK, now I fixed some things I guess: 1. yaboot.conf problem:
append="root=/dev/mapper/hda4_crypt video=radeonfb:off radeon.modeset=1" 2. this output still irritates: # cat /proc/fb 0 radeondrmfb 1 OFfb ATY,Jasper but doesnt seem to be too much of a problem, because: # dmesg|grep -e drm -e radeon [ 29.236109] fb: conflicting fb hw usage radeondrmfb vs OFfb ATY,Jasper - removing generic driver [ 29.241882] fb0: radeondrmfb frame buffer device [ 29.241913] [drm] Initialized radeon 2.0.0 20080528 for 0000:00:10.0 on minor 0 [ 63.224028] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id This last message [ 63.224028] seems to be a problem, because if I ssh into the machine when it crashed, tail -f /var/log/syslog was giving many many errors about ib and framebuffer stuff.
