Ok, good.

There are a few possibilities here; the most likely are that vga16fb is
blacklisted somewhere but just not in the obvious place, or that udev for
some reason can't find the module at boot-time when it goes to load it.

Please reboot again with the same options, and this time run:

  sudo modprobe -b vga16fb

and check /proc/fb afterwards.
