Ah..., I've already tried this patch. Unfortunately, this patch
doesn't solve a problem at least on my test environment. Herbert, did
you succeed by BK patch?

On my observation, problem is not from patched point, but is from:
--------------------
vga16fb.fix.smem_start = VGA_MAP_MEM(vga16fb.fix.smem_start);
--------------------

When I remove this from code, vga16fb works. I heard this line is for
ARM architecture...

GOTO Masanori and I are trying to find a problem, and Masanori knows more
about such kernel problem than me. Can you describe more details, Masanori?

Thanks,
