The problem also started appearing on my laptop on kernel 2.6.22-14. The posted fix works fine for me on a GeForce 8600M GT in 1024x768 (vga=0x317). I put vesafb first in the modules file, followed by fbcon. Not sure if that makes a difference.
> sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add fbcon and vesafb
> sudo update-initramfs -u
> sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
> change the line "blacklist vesafb" to "# blacklist vesafb"
