Same problem as Rich reported. Old kernel was using the regular text
console. System now boots with fbcon. It dies sometime after the network
configuration with the endless scrolling rivafb_pan_display messages.

It's been my experience that fbcon is slow and unreliable, and I don't
think it should be the default. I'd at least like an option
to /completely/ disable it - I don't want it loading any modules at all.

Burning a netinst CD so I can get my system bootable again.
