Hi to all, Just to let you know the simple solution I've found to make vesa work with custom 2.6.12 kernel (see this thread: for more details: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24534.html)
It seems that the vesafb support should be compliled in as a module and be loaded manually into the initrd image. Make sure that the following two lines are in '/etc/mkinitrd/modules' before running 'fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd ...': vesafb fbcon Hope this help. -- Marco Laverdière
