Really strange...

At that same line, could you try adding this:

printk("vgacon: y=%d fonth=%d deffh=%d vidfh=%d scanl=%d\n", height, c->vc_font.height, vga_default_font_height, vga_video_font_height, vga_scan_lines);
outb_p(VGA_CRTC_OVERFLOW, vga_video_port_reg);
printk("vgacon: overflow %02x\n",inb_p(vga_video_port_val));
outb_p(VGA_CRTC_V_SYNC_END, vga_video_port_reg);
printk("vgacon: vsync_end %02x\n",inb_p(vga_video_port_val));
outb_p(VGA_CRTC_V_DISP_END, vga_video_port_reg);
printk("vgacon: vdisp_end %02x\n",inb_p(vga_video_port_val));
