Title:
Ubuntu 14.04 boots to blank console
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “linux” package in Debian:

Bug description:
Ubuntu 14.04 as of 22:00 o'Clock Jan, 19th 2014 boots into blank console.
Ctrl-Alt-F{1..6} does nothing or all consoles are blank, but "ps axf" shows /sbin/getty running on tty{1..6}:
# ps axf | grep tty
880 tty4 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4
885 tty5 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty5
890 tty2 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty2
891 tty3 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty3
893 tty6 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty6
4290 pts/1 S+ 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto tty
1093 tty1 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1
Removing deprecated "vga=768" from kernel commandline => doesn't boot into 800x600, keeps 640x480
Settings
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=800x600
are ignored.
Grub boots up with 800x600, switches back to 640x480 (setting
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD to "keep" it is the same) kernel doesn't switch back
to 800x600.
Adding deprecated "vga=768" back in:
Grub boots up with 800x600, switches back to 640x480, kernel switches back to 800x600, but doesn't use this console. No output at all. Keys are accepted (you can login, but you'll have to guess what is going on on the screen).
Exactly the same error is found with debian. Switching to a self
compiled kernel solves this error. Looks a lot like some necessary
stuff for console resolution switching is missing in the debian
-/ubuntu-kernels.
