According Ben collins comment in bug #120747 vesafb is now built into
the kernel. But in the shell script /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/hooks/kernelextras, there is :
for x in ${MODULESDIR}/initrd/*; do
x=${x##*/}
x=${x%.*}
case ${x} in
'*')
break
;;
*fb)
fbcon=y
;;
esac
force_load ${x}
done
# And add vga16fb for usplash to use as well
manual_add_modules vga16fb
if [ ${fbcon} = "y" ]; then
force_load fbcon
fi
Since there is no more *fb module in the ${MODULESDIR}/initrd/
directory, fbcon and its dependencies are not loaded.
** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: linux-source-2.6.22 => initramfs-tools
