@Lekensteyn: Good catch! Your workaround works great! Thanks a lot!

So, users of proprietary Nvidia (and probably ATI/AMD as well) can do
the same for the vesafb driver.

Create a file /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/load-vesafb with
content:

#!/bin/sh
modprobe vesafb

Then make it executable:

chmod 755 /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/load-vesafb

And update initramfs:

update-initramfs -u

And voila you should have your graphical boot screen back! (of course
you need to set grub to graphical boot again)


Now if we are lucky 12.10 will already contain a fix for this ... of course, we 
shall not use evil proprietary drivers anyway ...SCNR
