I actually got it all working, started over from scratch and I used the "alternate" install CD for 10.04 because the GUI kept freezing up on the CD install. All is working great, except now I can't get the framebuffer fixed for the console. I had it working fine using that work around listed in the installs section modifying the initramfs and black list excluding the vesafb. However I decided to do an apt-get update/upgrade and now I can't for the life of me get the console working.
Running in the GUI works just fine but gdm eats up an extra 100MB of my memory! I really don't need this box to have a GUI since I am using it for some work projects, ssh and a console interface is fine. Techincally it will boot up fine console wise (you just can't see anyhting because the frame buffer is jacked) and I can ssh into it but its crappy because I would like to be able to do that local to the machine occasionally.
