Initially all messages from init scripts are displayed correctly, but after the init script to set up the VT1-VT6 is run, messages from init scripts are no longer displayed. Instead the display is blank with only a cursor.
However, if I switch back to VT1 from X.Org after the boot has completed, the missing messages are visible.
System is x86_64 running Debian stable ("Lenny"). I'm using VESAFB (vga=791) and no KMS.
I've bisected this to the following commit: commit 477346ff74f4c2aed50e8a0db96a61069f3e5b80 Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jan 7 17:04:54 2010 +1000 x86-64: Allow fbdev primary video code
Kernel config is available in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/16/230

The "Setting console screen modes and fonts" message comes from the init script /etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh. When that script is run the 2 tux logos for my 2 CPU cores also disappear.
Cheers, FJP
