-------solved here too--------
I used El Chupacabras instructions as well. I have added a vga=791 in my menu.lst and I edited my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules to look like:
 fbcon
 vsafb
 vga16fb
I changed /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
blacklist vesafb -> #blacklist vesafb
blacklist vga16fb -> #blacklist vga16fb

After that you have to do sudo update-initramfs -u
and that's it.
I have AMD/nVidia 6200 with nvidia-glx-new restricted drivers and this worked for me.
