Can't boot into kernel26beyond

First, specs on my system:

Graphics:  Via VT8378 [S3 Unichrome]
Grub entry: 

title Arch Linux
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@60 splash=verbose,theme=darch console=tty1 [all of this is on one line]
initrd /boot/kernel26beyond-fallback.img

When I boot into kernel26beyond, the system freezes, with no error messages, but the screen looking like:

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

Yes, that worked, thanks for that.

Now, is there a way to find out what the proper vesafb settings are?

Re: Can't boot into kernel26beyond

I can boot into kernel26beyond after I use these grub settings:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:1024x768-32@60 splash=verbose,theme=darch console=tty1
