I would suggest that you are experienceing a differrent problem.
The problem for most people seems to relate to the
vb modules not being inserted and thus the console being blank.
That is trivially fixed by making sure the right modules end
up in the initrd image.
The problem you are seeing would seem to be that the driver is
present but it the console is still not working. Are you sure
that _all_ the drivers you need are compiled in or available as modules?
