Funky Console Color on Bootup

Hello everyone, I've got an interesting problem: when I boot, using the 2.4.8-pre3-ben0 kernel, my console starts out being neon green, and the text messages that are printed to the console not just in different neon colors, but also are cut in half, with the top on bottom, of each letter. In o
