Comments/Problems:
1. Although I specified "localtime" the clock got set to "UTC"
2. Booting kernel vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-686 and specifying vga=791 gets "undefined video mode"
There is something funny going on with the post 2.6.24 Debian kernels.
Specifying vga=791, which works 2.6.24 and before, no longer works.
I have submitted a bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481063
I can specify vga=791 with kernels 2.6.25 + 2.6.26 from kernel.org. I cannot with the Debian kernel images post 2.6.24.
AFAIK it must be a Debian problem then.
