Try upgrading your kernel. Those early 2.6 kernels have lots of

I tried with 2.6.11-1-686 and get the same result:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1-686 root=/dev/hda6 ro acpi=off
video=vesafb:ypan,mtrr vga=786
Do you recommend me any kernel in particular? Maybe newer than 2.6.11?
2.6.11 should be fine. Post your dmesg with regards to vesafb. The
most important would be the the availability of the "Protected Mode
Interface" in the BIOS. If this is not available, than panning will be
disabled by vesafb.
Also, if you think that your Video BIOS is incorrect about the amount
of video RAM you have, you can use the option vtotal and vremap.
(vtotal is the total amount of RAM in MB, and vremap for the amount
of RAM you want to use. See Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt).
