My system comes up with a blank console after hardware suspend and resume. 
The cursor is still visible, but no text is there. Switching to another 
console and back fixes it. Vesafb is enabled with vga=791.
Hardware is a Toshiba Satellite 4100XCDT notebook with Trident Cyber9525DVD 
graphics chipset, but this also can be reproduced with Dell notebooks.

I just verified the problem exists still with 2.4.20-rc1.
A binary search turned up 2.4.18-pre7 as the kernel which broke, 
specifically the changes made to apm.c back then.
