hi all, i'm unable to have a working Radeon KMS framebuffer with an ATI FireGL V5600 on my YDL Powerstation and i'm obliged to use the old OpenFirmware fb.
That's from my dmesg [1]:

Looks like there's a problem retrieving the card's ROM contents. Does rebuilding the kernel with CONFIG_VGA_ARB disabled make a difference?
