Comment (by pulkomandy):
We can't load drivers before we have mounted the disk they are stored in.
So the early steps can't be in anything else than vesa. As I mentionned,
if the mode is advertised but in fact doesn't work, we should blacklist it
manually, we could do this by identifying the particular monitor or
videocard bios this happens with. It is not something I expect users to
manually change to get a splashscreen. And I don't think forcing 800x600
for the bootscreen, just in case the higher modes don't work, is the right
thing to do here.
