Had something similar on my Dynabook. The bottom 3 or so lines were
not visible. I worked around it by using the framebuffer. Instead of
just hitting enter at the boot prompt, do
linux vga=0x318
for a full-screen, full-colour (1024x768x32) installation. There are
a couple of more values you could use but I don't remember them off
the top of my head. Try `man fbset` or the kernel sources framebuffer
docs.
