Yes, known problem. I ran into a few monthes back.
64-bit kernel isn't F-extending an address someplace.
We've had this problem before and I don't know when it crept back in.
Either use 32-bit kernel or start hunting down the life span of the
frame buffer address. Maybe start with the STI FB drivers.
