It's normal. Boot messages resume after screen went blank at the point of l=
oading framebuffer for any gfx card (vesafb or radeonfb, anyway).

I have 2.6.10 kernel. My fbset -i looks like yours:

root@kopernik:~# fbset -i

I use vga 773 with lilo. Everything works fine with 2.6.10 and all other 2.=
6.* kernels.
Do you have lilo with the same vga mode? It seems to be 256 colors.
