I asume your VGA indicates that it'll divide it's scanline counter by 2.
Please add a printk("vgacon: mode=%2.2x\n", mode) before line 512 and report
the value. A real fix will depend on this value. In the meantime, removing
the lines 512 and 513 from the original file should be a temporary fix.

Here is the result from the printk you requested:
vgacon: mode=a3

I commented out lines 512 and 513 and the problem remains.

Thanks,
Jason
