I too am experiencing the same problem with Hardy(Gobuntu CD) with 2.6.24-2-386 kernel.
The virtual terminals are blank and the monitor LED changes from green to yellow, indicating it is sleeping, I think.
I will also attach the relevant files one after another.

I am using
xserver-video-intel 2:2.2.0-1ubuntu1
xserver-xorg 1:7.3+7ubuntu3
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~git20071212-1ubuntu2

This is what "uname -a" says:
Linux abyss 2.6.24-2-386 #1 Thu Dec 13 23:22:02 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

I did these steps from a thread in the forums.
1. sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add fbcon and vesafb
so my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules looks like:

fbcon
vesafb

2. sudo update-initramfs -u
3. sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
change the line "blacklist vesafb" to "# blacklist vesafb"

But, it still did not solve the problem

I will attach the relevant files in the following posts.
