Hi Junichi, I finally have had a little time to check your suggestion. :-)

I have juste build the stock 2.6.17.11 kernel, with the SVN patches.
Here is the way:
- download the stock 2.6.17.11 kernel sources
- get the svn trunk from
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mactel-linux
- update the patch version.patch
- apply all the patches
- reverse-apply the imacfb.patch
- build the kernel
- install the kernel
- run gptsync (altough I'm not sure this is necessary).
I will add a little text on this to the
http://wiki.debian.org/MacBookPro page.

Yes ! This was the reason ! Having the imacfb.patch applied cause
troubles on the frame buffer in console mode. Removing it is the correct
solution for me. :-)
I could now continue configuring the MacBook Pro. :-)
Thanks for your help.
