I have a small problem with radeonfb in 2.4.22-pre5 (+manually created radeonfb.h file). During boot, when the console is switched over to the frame buffer device, the screen becomes corrupted. Mostly by white squares in a grid pattern and some squares with other colors. Between the squares, normal characters can be seen, but each character is duplicated. Here is a picture: (not very sharp unfortunately)

Text added after the switch is not corrupted, so eventually the corruption is scrolled off the screen and after that the framebuffer appears to be working correctly.
2.4.22-pre3 does not have this problem. I haven't found a patch for the vanilla 0.1.8 version, so I don't know if that version also has this problem. I think someone has reported a similar problem in 2.5.x, but I don't remember the details.
Here are some messages from the kernel log:
