Software Environment:
It happens during kernel loading

Problem Description: It happens when kernal begin to load. All characters on the
screen are unreadable and contsist of lines and pixels. i can't attach dmesg
because i can't see what i type when this bug occurs.
As i discovered this bug was born after convertion MODULE_PARM to module_param
in neofb module because if copy unconverted neofb from 2.6.10-rc1 to rc2 and
compile it everything works ok.

Steps to reproduce:
Recompile kernel with neofb.
