Just upgraded Ubuntu 8.10 default kernel to 2.6.29.1 taken from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/)
Reinstalled the latest stable NVidia driver and I'm getting black screen when booting in verbose mode with vga=795 option. It is working with the old kernel but not with the new one actually. Seems that this was a problem in a previous Ubuntu concerning vesafb or something. Do I have to update some config or what?

P.S. When reinstalling NVidia driver on a new kernel I get a warning about different 'gcc' versions used and an option to continue. The driver compiled without errors btw.

same problem here.. it works in verbose if i take out the vga addition, but i'll get crappy huge fonts in the terminal screens

WITH the vga=795 added, it's blank on boot and also blank when i go to screens alt+ctrl+F* but F7 works fine of course.
