Bug#289250: Suggest that sarge kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386 have vesafb compiled in, not as module

[jumbophut <jumbophut@gmail.com>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386
Version: 2.6.8-10

vesafb needs to be loaded very early in the boot process (according to
vesafb.c, while the kernel is still in real mode).

But because it is a configured as a module, it is only loaded when the
boot process is basically complete.  The module then fails to probe
with error -6.

Relevant line of /boot/config-2.6.8-1-386:
CONFIG_FB_VESA=m

Having vesafb compiled in rather than as a module would -- I presume
-- fix this problem.  (I'm not even sure why the kernel config would
allow it to be a module, since it needs real mode to load, but
apparently it does).

I have attempted to inform myself before posting this, but it is
certainly possible that I am ignorant of what is actually going on. 
Apologies in advance if that is the case.

I can provide more information if needed.

Regards
Tony
