Kernel 2.6.8 - Framebuffer

Last weekend I tried to update to 2.6.8 (from 2.6.7),
but the vesa fb driver seems to be broken.

1. I get a message about vga=834 being invalid (that should be 1400×1250@16bpp, which I have been using for quite a while now)
2. The screen totally gets scambled under the console. I can startx after booting blind and it is working, but that is very unsatisfactory.

Will stick with 2.6.7 and wait for 2.6.9 :(
