I suppose you mean my grub's menu.lst, after looking at it I've done some
more tests and identified the posible cause.

This would be my grub menu.lst:

default         0
fallback 2
timeout         2
color cyan/blue white/blue

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.23-rc8
root            (hd0,2)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23-rc8 root=/dev/md1 vga=0x307 ro 
savedefault

I didn't remember I had the vga=0x307 there, it comes from my FB times and
it remained there as in 2.6.22 it didn't cause any weird behaviour. I have
removed it and now the vga comes up Ok.

Current cmdline after removing the vga=0x307:

root=/dev/md1 ro

I'm attaching my .config, the one that had the problem with the vga=0x307
appended on 2.6.23-RC8.

If you still want all the other stuff just ask for it.

Regards...
