-boot from grub -> "Loading initramfs" ... -> screen goes blank for 2-3 seconds
-screen turns active during the "Initializing kernel" splash message
-screen goes blank for the 2nd time, and this time for 5-6 seconds
-screen turns active and boot ends without other problems.
I've an acer d255 netbook with an intel GMA 3150 integrated vga, running a Sabayon LXDE 32 bit edition.
My /boot/grub/grub.cfg is:

After some researching, I have found the following links:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6797468.html
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GM ... t_on_4500M

Any other ideas?
