Package: kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686
Version: 2.6.9-3

Hi.
I'm seeing a similar problem, probably the same: the booting process=
=20
doesn't finish because of rivafb module, I have on screen an infinite=
=20
loop with the following messages when the rivafb module is probing th=
e card:
---------------------------------------------------------------------=
--
rivafb_pan_display START
rivafb_pan_display END
rivafb_pan_display START
rivafb_pan_display END
---------------------------------------------------------------------=
--
This is repeated again and again, and I have to reboot.

The video card is working perfectly with the rivafb module in=20
kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 (v. 2.6.8-10). Here you are the relevant lin=
