Later, when the console font is being initialized, the screen comes back. Therefore I guess the font is there but the character set is just "blank". This is quite annoying as I cannot see, for example, if there's any fschk going on. I'm using an Acer Travelmate 291 LMi (subtype of the 290) which has an ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility graphics adapter built-in.
