I've had this on other 2.6.0-test kernels, but not on 2.6.0-pre ones, 
using a GEForce FX5200 adapter and Athlon XP2200+. I have to set 
vga=normal in order to see the bootup messages, looks like a FB bug.
 CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
Regards
Sid.

Not sure its a bug, I though that the vga= interface may just have 
changed. You may want to have a look at Documenation/svga.txt, but in
short, vga=ask and then vga=<mode # you've choosen> should suffice. 
Regards,
Fred

The vga=0x31a used by the 2.4 kernels is the one I've been trying, I 
think I shall try vga=scan and see if I can find one that works for 
2.6.0-test11.
Thanks & Regards
Sid.
