Should set_palette(vc) have read > fbcon_set_palette(vc, color_table)? after I copied the defines for SCROLL_ACCEL etc. from 2.6.7-bk17 and replaced set_palette by fbcon_set_palette, the code compiles fine but still won't work. Instead of blanking the screen I now get a continued display of the pre-boot messages until the kernel reboots after the panic time runs out. Also the controlfb does not work. I think I'll try compiling stock 2.6.7 without the ati driver next and see if that works as expected when using controlfb only.
