For me this worked :

sudo echo "fbcon" >> /etc/modules
sudo echo "vesafb" >> /etc/modules
sudo update-initramfs -v -u -k $(uname -r)

The screen will remain blank for some time until the drivers are loaded.
To have them loaded earlier-on initrd has to be modified.

Some info of my machine:
grub menu.list (out-of-auto-kernel-update-section):
