Comment 12 for bug 246269

~$ dmesg | grep vesa
[ 2.776166] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-3)
[ 2.776166] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22
[ 2.776166] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22

on nvidia 8400gs

$ lsmod | grep vesa
uvesafb 34660 0
cn 15648 1 uvesafb

but I don't have uvesafb.0:
$ ls /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/
bind uevent unbind v86d

I have v86d:

$ whereis v86d
v86d: /sbin/v86d /usr/share/man/man8/v86d.8.gz

according to Harvey's post probably it's initramfs problem, but last time I unpack initram there was v86d, and I had same behavior.
