Comment 3 for bug 297704

I'm struggling to reproduce this on karmic with grub2. I can't seem to get framebuffer modes working at all so I can't test the bug yet. If I use either the kernel parameter "vga=791" or add the line "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16" before the kernel line in grub2, the system boots normally but switching to a text terminal just gives a blinking cursor.
