Comment 27 for bug 431812

This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.92bubuntu50

---------------
initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu50) karmic; urgency=low

  LP: #392039, #431812.
  * hooks/framebuffer:
    - rename from hooks/kernelextras, this is much more descriptive and
      actually matches the associated script
    - copy kernel-mode-setting drivers (drivers/gpu) into the initramfs
    - include the vesafb driver, which we previously relied on being in
      the special initrd directory
    - don't force load fbcon
    - don't force load things from the initrd directory
  * scripts/init-top/framebuffer:
    - add udev as a pre-requisite
    - remove mknods since udev will make those now
    - remove intel_agp and i915 code
    - don't unset MODPROBE_OPTIONS, just override for the modprobe call
      (since we want video= to override the blacklist)
    - if we didn't pick up a framebuffer from vga= or video=, and don't
      have one from udev, wait for udev to finish then if we still don't
      have one, load vesafb
    - settle after loading drivers to ensure the device is ready
  * debian/control:
    - increase dependency on udev to that which loads fbcon
    - add breaks on older usplash to force upgrade
