[Bug 184822] kernel vga mode setting not working with 2.6.22

[Sevcsik András]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-generic

With linux-2.6.22-*, if I set a vga mode (with vga=792 for example) in
grub (tried with menu.lst and within the boot menu too), the graphical
splash screen shows and X works, but there's no virtual consoles (even
boot messages don't appear). If I switch to virtual console with
Ctrl+Alt+F*, a cursor is blinking in the corner at 640x480 res.

If I switch to linux-2.6.20, everything works as expected.
