After grub selection there is no any output to screen till gdm start.
This happens if VESA mode selected in grub command (vga=792 for example). VGA modes work well.
This problem exists only in 2.6.26-3 kernel.
As I can see kernel had switched to uvesafb from vesafb.
There is another bug (#189621) about missing v86d, which is needed for uvesafb to work correctly.
