Yes, it was. The settings in grub.conf are supposed to override the |
| 10 |
kernel settings. But if the framebuffer is set in the kernel, naturally |
| 11 |
the kernel is going to start the framebuffer. It is, after all, the |
| 12 |
kernel, and the kernel is king of the hill. |

If you don't want a framebuffer, remove framebuffer support from your |
| 15 |
kernel config. |

Unless there's a setting in grub.conf to disable the |
| 18 |
previously-initialized framebuffer. If there was, you could use that, |
| 19 |
but I don't even know if such a setting exists, and seems like extra |
| 20 |
work in any case (enabling the framebuffer just to disable it with an |
| 21 |
override that may or may not work). |

Hope this helps, |
