nofb broken in x86_64?

[Brian Long]

I'm trying to kickstart an Opteron server using x86_64 boot disks and
passing the "text nofb" kernel option.

I am able to use my serial redirect when installing the i686 version of
RHEL 3, but when I'm installing the x86_64 version, it appears "nofb" is
being disregarded.  The installation is taking place in text mode but
it's not 80x25 text so my serial redirect isn't working.

I have duplicated this with 2.4.21-15.0.4.EL and 2.4.21-20.EL boot
disks.  Any ideas how to get x86_64 installations working over the
serial port?

Thanks.
