Same for me in the betas and RC's. Does it happen even if you don't use a vga= parameter on your kernel line? IIRC, it only happens to me when I have used vga=788. What is your video card? Here's what I wrote down one of the many times it happened to me: last=/home/flepied/RPM/BUILD/gpm-1.20.0/src/liblow.c info: [liblow.c(446)]: warning: closing connection -- "To fear the Lord is to hate evil. . . ."
