Guys,

After picking around in the logs, one recurring error seems to be:

FATAL: Module fbcon not found.

This comes from modprobe.

What provides the "fbcon" module? I presume it some framebuffer connect module. I have loaded xf86-video-fbdev package, but still no luck.

fbcon is a kernel module, but it should be compiled into the kernel. Do you have the latest kernel26?

Still stumped with intel :-(
