Please try to build a kernel with CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY enabled.
This fixed the problem for me (300Mhz,6GB iBook).
Though, admittedly, I don't see any reason in this.
Christof
PS: 433Mhz - I should have waited buying one ...
PPS: if I guessed wrong, here's the relevant part of my .config:
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY=y
CONFIG_FB_OF=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y
CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY=y
CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16=y
#
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
