earlyprintk=vga doesn't show anything (ie. blank screen), so it seems to crash
really early.

I'm unable to reproduce the problem on a non-SMP box (Asus L5D), which works
just fine with this kernel, but on the other SMP box the framebuffer is broken
(displays all fonts inverted, as in a mirror) and the kernel says it cannot
mount the root fs (which is on an md-raid).

All boxes are x86_64, the .config for nx6325 is attached.
