I think this looks like a regression in either the nvidia drivers or the
kernel. I see that vesafb is being loaded for us via /etc/init/udev-
fallback-graphics.conf, and this failing seems to be what causes the
error you see; prior to natty, I believe vesafb *did* load successfully
together with the binary nvidia drivers, and this is no longer working.
Moving this bug to the kernel and nvidia packages.
