Hello, Late in the release cycle we found out that a kernel bug prevents sparc machines with ATI graphics adapters using atyfb driver from booting due to problems with console handover, causing it to hang early during the boot (http://bugs.debian.org/602853). I thought that this can be worked around by disabling framebuffer during boot, however there was at least one report that this was not effective.
I would like to solicit kernel team's opinions on feasibility of including the patch posted to the bug (committed upstream) in 6.0.1. I've already built a patched kernel and made if available for testing as a part of unofficial Squeeze installation image, and haven't heard about any problems so far. Eventually we would need release team's blessing as well, I guess.
