Comment 7 for bug 258031

Appeared after trying to fix #246269

Acer Aspire 5520, nVidia GeForce 8400M G, 32 bit Ubuntu Intrepid (current):
Even when no kernel parameters are passed, the screen becomes blank after passing GRUB until GDM starts.
v86d is installed and present in initramfs.

dmesg:

[ 3.282132] v86d[1018]: segfault at 0 ip 08049cd1 sp bfb630c0 error 4 in v86d[8048000+17000]
...
[ 7.657022] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=1)
[ 7.657030] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22
[ 7.657040] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22

v86d is the only segfaulted application during startup.

After switching back to ttys from X i get extremely stretched terminal font in 40x24 mode.

Any idea how to emulate v86d kernel call after the boot process?
