Okay, here it is minus the parts I thought I could delete to save
space without affecting the issue of why the console is different.
The first config file, kconfig26, is for the kernel that works,
2.6.16.13-1. The second config is for one of the two versions of
2.6.16.11.-1, the "beyond" version, for which I couldn't get an
appealing console.

I can see that 11-1 had 1024x768 set as the default mode.  I'm
surprised though that adding a different mode setting on the kernel
boot line would not change the default.  When I tried adding vga=775,
which should have given me 1280x1024, I would get "you passed an
undefined mode number."  Anyway, here are the results of the diff.
