You should disable the Vesa FB.
Edit the /etc/defaul/grub and modify the
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=vesafb:off quiet splash"

The run as root the following:
# update-grub
# grub-install <The device where the bootblk should be stored, in general /dev/sda or /dev/hda>

Hi Ritz,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 614085

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Have tried to make a nem install the last week with different daily
builds and alpha 3 using the make start disk utility in Ubuntu 9.04. and
unetbooting in windowsXP on differet usb sticks that normally work as
bootdisks. But they all end with errors like:

SYSLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin
Unknown keyword in configuration file.
boot:

So I don't know if it is fixed or not.

I laugh at the statement #4 of Ritz: "Fix Released."

I am also affected by this problem. The virtual consoles are unusable due to the very large resolution.
