Resolution
In the /boot/grub/menu.lst replace the complete kernel parameter that starts with vga= with vga=normal
Additional Information
If you also wants to see the complete boot process on your server screen, you could also remove the kernel parameter splash=silent in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Some test have been performed. With vga=0x317 it takes 4:10 minutes before the login prompt is present. With vga=normal it takes 1:20 minutes. (These times are dependent on hardware and what kind of installation you have).
