  |Ok, here is the patch. It is relative to 3.0-RELEASE.  However, I have
  |not tested this patch as I don't have a 3.0-RELEASE box around me at
  |the moment.
  |
  |Apply the patch to /sys/i386/isa/vesa.c and rebuild the kernel.
  |
  |Please report if it works.
 
 After a few syntax tweaks (updated patch attached), I got the kernel built.
 Unfortunately it still locks up.  
 
 Also, I tried telneting in and pinging from another box.  No response.  So
 it's a hard system lock and not just behavior isolated to syscons.

  |How did the screen look?  How corrupted?  Wrong palette colors?
  |Garbage characters?
 
 Well, it seems like once I saw the characters from the old virtual screen
 at the new resolution on the tty switch.  So I guess not really corrupted.
 Just not the right chars displayed on the right screen.  But that could be
 because of where it locked.
 
 The colors looked fine BTW.  I have a color syscons prompt, and it was
 still yellow and green w/ black background.  Rest of the screen was gray
 and white.  Both sets of colors are correct.
