Bug#534944: grub-pc: text mode virtual terminals blank

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

Since I'm unable to reproduce this, I will need some help.  I need you to
boot a modified Linux image with the "linux16" loader, e.g.:

  linux16 /boot/bzImage
  boot

and then tell me the output (if you're using the older version of GRUB,
linux16 won't be present, in that case use "linux" instead).

You might be able to get it through a serial port with console=ttyS0
parameter, but I'm not sure if that will work at this point in the boot
process.  Otherwise, use pencil and paper!

The patch you need to apply to Linux is attached.  If it's more practical
to you, you can use this prebuilt image instead:

  http://people.debian.org/~rmh/bzImage

which is gpg-signed:

  http://people.debian.org/~rmh/bzImage.sig
