Ubuntu 9.04 Server - console font too big and starts off screen
 
The title pretty much says it all. Once I get past GRUB, the font becomes HUGE and starts off screen. It appears to be center zoomed because I cannot see the login prompt nor anything I type.

It's not really an emergency, I installed OpenSSH during the OS installation and can just turn it on and log in over SSH or start up Webmin. It just bugs me that I cannot figure this out.

There is no graphical environment installed, so it's not a video card issue. I tried adding vga=ask as a kernel flag and then tried several options, but to no avail. Anyone have any idea?

Is it possible that the text is starting off screen because the monitor is not calibrated properly? Maybe try pressing the auto-adjust button on your monitor? I know this is a simple solution, but just in case that's the issue, I thought I'd add it. Sorry I dont know why your font is so large, my suggestion would have been with the vga=XXX on the kernel tag.
