minor fix: i had to use the slightly modified patch below instead of the 
one you posted, so that the second patch applies fine. Color output is 
just fine with this plus your #2 one applied. Adding 
vt.printk_color=0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08 to the boot line 
worked as expected.

Colored kernel message output (1/2)

This patch makes it possible to give kernel messages a selectable
color. It can be chosen at compile time, overridden at boot time,
and changed at run time.
