I configured netconsole, regenerated my initramfs to enable kernel
modesetting, tested, and nothing - it all works now.  Removed
netsonole, tried again, it still works.  So it's fixed!

I notice that today I pulled in an upgrade from initramfs-tools 0.98.2
-> 0.98.4.  0.98.3 began conflicting with usplash, which I had
installed.

So my guess is usplash was causing the problem, and the
initramfs-tools upgrade that forced usplash away was ultimately the
cure.

Sorry for the noise,
Ross
