I`ve tried every solution offered so far, with no luck. But I found a post on kubuntuforums that solved my problem.
BTW. I have a Samsung Syncmaster 757 NF, Geforce 8500 GT, Athlon 64-bit X2 4400, 1 GB RAM...

Here is the solution I`ve found:

(before I did what follows, I used StartupManager to set the boot-splash resolution to 1280x1024 16-bit)

edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
add the following

    * vga16fb
    * fbcon
    * vesafb

edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
comment out the following (prefix with #)

    * blacklist vesafb
    * blacklist vga16fb

last but not least, run the following in a terminal

    * sudo update-initramfs -u

Finally, it works...
Cheers...
