Useful info, and I checked your configs and they enable the right options.
Looks like you've found a real bug.

IIRC, a lot of real mode assembler (including the x86 vga/vesa stuff, iirc)
was rewritten a year or so ago, in C. This might have been the time that this
bug was introduced. I've added hpa to CC since I believe he was the author of
these changes.

(Summary of the original report is that vga= vesa mode selection seems to have
broken for Robert since at least 2.6.26, and after 2.6.24. From what I can see
he has the right vesafb options enabled.)

I grepped the tree for "Screen unavailable" and "Screen not found" and found
nothing. Could you please reproduce the message and confirm which exactly it
is?
