I had this every now and then before but right now I consistently have the issue after reboot under 2.6.28-rc2 and emergency reboot (SysRq-B) under rc3 (emergency because I cannot get past creating devices in initrd - it just hangs there).

After reboot display is empty; I have to use hot key (Fn-F5 in this case to reactivate LCD again).

As I said the problem was always there, just happened very infrequently. I am use BIOD reboot method because ACPI leaves keyboard disabled.

Any idea?

Report it to toshiba / ask for updated bios?
