Rebuilt kernel => no consoles?

[David Abrahams]

Hi,

I just rebuilt the ubuntu 2.6.15 kernel from source (and applied the
linux-phc patch) and I get no consoles with the new kernel when either
"vga=791" or "splash" appear in the boot parameters.  I do get gnome,
but ctrl-alt-F1 gives me a blank screen.  Does anyone know what I did
wrong?  I didn't do anything special to include restricted modules,
but I don't think my hardware depends on them.  Any help much
appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
