When I boot with the intelfb and vesafb modules compiled into the kernel, the kernel crashes quickly during boot (probably during intelfb initialization - the timing seems fit). The displays goes completely blank / off, the keyboard does no longer respond at all (even reisub). I have to power off hard by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
I can avoid the crash by having vesafb switch the display resolution (vga=0x0362).
Sorry, I don't know of anyone who can work on this :( If there's any earlier kenrel which worked OK then performing a bisection search would be most valuable. http://www.kernel.org/doc/local/git-quick.html has some tips.
