Have you tried with an HD4xxx series hardware? I guess those cards are the only affected. I only have this 4870 with me, but another user had the same issue with a 4250. I found a workaround, btw: booting with vga=773 works for me. It seems those cards have some sort of problem switching from 1024x768x16 to any other resolution during the boot phase.
