"vesa" won't work. It relies on call-backs to the BIOS to configure the display, which we don't currently support. I guess we could, but there's usually a better driver than vesa available anyhow, so it hasn't been a priority. What happens if you use the "ati" driver? Are you sure your kernel is build without CONFIG_{DRM,AGP,FP} ? If so, its hard to understand why it's rebooting. I wander if anything might be gleaned from strace'ing what happens when you start X.
