No tty[1-6] in Ubuntu 7.10

No tty[1-6] in Ubuntu 7.10

If you notice that you don't have any tty's and no boot prompt (when
the Ubuntu splashscreen is not enabled), then this might fix your
problem.

*
Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add the lines (modules)

fbcon
vesafb

*
Uncomment vesafb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer, so
the line should look like

# blacklist vesafb

*
sudo update-initramfs -u

The -u option is used to update your existing initrd image. Please
make sure that you first edit the initramfs modules and the blacklist
before you update the initramfs.

*
Reboot. It should work now.
