As was said earlier in the thread, a proper DRM/KMS driver doesn't prevent that. The only thing preventing that would be:

a) kernels with graphics drivers disabled
b) kernels with graphics drivers as modules that get loaded late.

Please stop insinuation that DRM/KMS drivers can't handle boot messages.
