The problem might be a "funny" screen mode.
Add vga=ask as a kernel parameter in your bootmanager configuration (lilo, 
grub) and try different scrreen modes in console.
grub:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=ask
You might want to test some framebuffer modes also. Install hwinfo and run
hwinfo --framebuffer
as root and try vga=mode (0x301 for example)
Hope this helps.
