I have added vga=792 to the kernel line in grub.conf for several years.
  I've found that doing this with FC6 leads to a black screen, no little
penguins at the top or anything.  I see the drive spin, and the system
boots up fine, but the console is blank.

I've experienced it with 3 different NVidia and 1 ATI cards.

Anyone know why?

Thomas;

I don't know why, but you could try these other values to see what
works (looks like vga=773 would give you the same resolution but fewer
colors):

+       | 640x480  800x600  1024x768 1280x1024
