Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] has problems with vesafb and splash screen. Without using splash screen you can use vga= by decimals or hex. Saving energy by save to disk there is no output from console.

So I did:
sudo mcedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
  fbcon
  radeonfb

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all -v

sudo mcedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
  #blacklist radeonfb

sudo modprobe radeonfb

Now it's all right.
