[ltp] 2.6.18 delays switch to text console

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

I am playing around with 2.6.18, and I noticed something rather strange.

I regularly switch from X to the text console (also, for hibernating).
2.6.18 is adding a big delay, of 5s or so, during which the screen is
completely blank.  After the delay, the regular console text appears.

Anyone else is experiencing this?  The text console is *not* fbcon, just the
regular text-mode vga console, and radeonfb is not loaded.
