Your VESA BIOS seems to have some serious braindamage (the fact that the modes don't list at all is evidence of that), but finding out what can be done to help it would be useful.
Again, a git bisect between v2.6.24 and v2.6.26 would be best:
git clone \ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git cd linux-2.6.git git bisect start git bisect bad v2.6.26 git bisect good v2.6.24 <build and test kernel> git bisect <good,bad> <keep going until one commit shows up>
If a commit doesn't build or otherwise exhibit a different problem (meaning "no info available"), use "git bisect skip".
