Same problem here - Screen stays black, and won't even boot into X. Only solution to remove "splash" from menu.lst.

x64x2, 8800GTS

I tried modifying my initrd to include "fbcon" - same results.
I tried modifying CONSOLE_SCREEN="true" in /etc/init.d/usplash - same results.
I tried passing the vga= option in kernel paramater list - same results.

The only error in dmesg is: [ 21.000414] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found.

The other message (possibly related) I could find in syslog or kern:
Oct 7 11:27:05 morpheus kernel: [ 33.921595] Console: colour VGA+ 80x25

Oct 7 11:27:05 morpheus kernel: [ 33.926056] No AGP bridge found

So, I guess it's back to old skool scrolling text for now.
