Thanks, going to try this too.

Now I get something in a (what seems a) "VGA compatible controller", and
although the frame buffer is working, the Tux logos and all text characters
are all white and irregular blocks, with approximate expected sizes for
characters, but it looks like each one was written twice, a bit shifted
each time, so some of them even merge. Even the colored brief diagnostic
messages for the results of the init scripts are also white.

I guess I forgot to add the intel drivers to the kernel, going to check
this first.

Thanks again,
Francisco
