Bug Description

Please consider building in fbcon (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE) on all architectures, so that we can reliably have a framebuffer console from the very start. This is part of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Grub2BootFramebuffer, and Leann asked me to file a bug for her reference.

(I imagine it may be worth looking into bug 513423 at the same time ...)
