I had a strang idea about the text-consoles and it was right: The consoles are 
present, but they are black text on black background.
I can type in commands blindly and they are executed, but I don't see them. So 
it seems to be a minor problem with your patch I think. Somehow the colors 
got screwed up in textmode.

No, I changed the path to graphics in boot admin.

The background of the penguin is green where it should be black. This is the  
obvious change. The rest just looks weird. If it helps I could make a picture 
of it.
