Not sure which errors are gone now. The line related to drm and vmwgfx are like 
the previous no blacklisting and no setting fbdev dmesg to me. Again repeating 
the resolution and FIFO line and not replacing the framebuffer.
How the user-space tools would influence the kernel boot I cannot explain. The 
dkms package that goes with it does not seem to replace anything gfx related.
So loosing a few lines while switching framebuffers is something I would not 
worry too much about. Though that should be the same with the Ubuntu and your 
own kernel... We probably should make the default enabled here.
Aside that, something else to try: most newer framebuffer drivers (especially 
those related to drm drivers) will understand something like "video=800x600" 
instead of vga=789 (maybe video=simplefb:800x600 but according to dmesg it is 
already using that resolution). The resolution would be set by GRUB_GFXMODE, 
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD is not used when generating the real grub config file.
