As I don't see any answer from the kernel team, I'm setting the priority of this bug as critical.
This basically makes the framebuffer unusable for anyone using gutsy so I think it's worth this status. I can submit a patch if needed, but I'd like some guidance on the right thing to do. IMHO, as the vesafb driver is no longer compiled as a module, we should load the fbcon module unconditionally in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kernelextras (as otherwise it won't ever load it). Thoughts ?

Cheers
