This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.99ubuntu8
---------------
initramfs-tools (0.99ubuntu8) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low
* Too optimistic in thinking that the DRM driver will always be loaded
in time for scripts/init-top/framebuffer to load; some users find that
vesafb gets loaded first anyway, scrambling their console state in the
initramfs. Add a one-second sleep before checking if we should fall back
to vesafb, which seems to be long enough to work around this.
LP: #869119.
