Any special magic (any special console parameters) to get the console into a readable state when booting into a new kernel?
You might want to look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675793 as a guide to what you're probably up against. I can't say for sure because I don't intentionally let Lilo (or Grub2) onto any of my systems. When given a choice between no bootloader, Lilo and Grub2 and not Grub Legacy, I choose no bootloader and use some already installed Grub Legacy, or install Grub Legacy using Knoppix, to get me booted. With Grub Legacy I manage between the combination of non-installation of plymouth, splashy & bootsplash, and a video= on cmdline to override KMS automagic on the ttys. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
