Bug#289610: kernel-source-2.6.10: console screen blank when vesafb compiled statically

[Brian Pack <afcpack@verizon.net>]

Package: kernel-source-2.6.10
Version: 2.6.10-3
Severity: important

Compiling the kernel with the debianized /drivers/video/vesafb.c
statically results in a blank screen at bootup. Replacing with the
vanilla vesafb.c works.

I patched with the bootsplash-3.1.4-2.6.10.diff from bootsplash.de
before compiling.
