I must correct my statement/presumption from yesterday. Further testing
yielded, that the aty framebuffer driver is the "bad guy". Why?

I compiled a kernel 2.4.25 with vesa and aty framebuffer included. When
I boot with video=atyfb:off and video=vesa, I can properly reboot. But
when I boot with video=atyfb and video=vesa:off, I cannot properly
reboot. The same is true with kernel 2.4.22.

I'll write an email to Geert Uytterhoeven and Daniel Mantione (developer
of atyfb) and ask them for their opinion about this matter.

Again, many thanks for listening and replying.

Dieter
