Hi,

I was able to reproduce this error on one of my machines. It seems it
*does* find v86d, as the error would have to more lines if it wouldn't:

uvesafb: failed to execute /sbin/v86d
uvesafb: make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable
uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-2)
uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22
uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22

I still do not understand why it works on 2 machines, and on one not...
Could you try moving the uvesafb line from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
to /etc/modules, run "update-initramfs -u" and reboot? That works for
me on the one machine, however that means that uvesafb and v86d will be
started a bit later (leaving you with an ugly console until then).

Regards
Evgeni

PS: what graphiccard do you have? My working are an old Radeon 7000 and
a VIA Chrome 9, the non-working is a Radeon X1400.
