This bug really should be reassigned to package "udev" because it ships a blacklist-framebuffer file that prevents loading of all frame buffer drivers. This, in turn, affects the creation of ramdisk images, which can be handled by different tools, because the blacklist also prevents the inclusion of the driver in ramdisk images.

Anyhow, by the looks of it, the kernel that ships with Gutsy is back to where the Feisty kernel was, in terms of features: fbcon and vesafb copiled as modules. The only notable difference is the newer udev that includes the afore mentioned module blacklist, which is why this bug really ought to be reassigned to "udev".
