I also had something similar, and like others that suggest the vga=
line, I found it preferrable to actually rebuild the kernel without
frame buffering. The came about because the video resume on suspend
wasn't working for me, and not that I have a new kernel, it seems
to be correctly "waking up".
To make things easier on myself, I pulled the header files and kernel
tree packages, then disabled the things that I didn't really want or
need, and then make a custom kernel *with* initrd enabled (new step for
me here) and then it would boot properly.
Hoping this helps you,
David
