Try editing grub at the boot screen and appending:- "video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x768-24" NOTE: modify the resolution and colour depth to suit. That works for me - I run Nvidia drivers so YMMV Also remove "quiet" if you want boot trivia If that solves your problem (the framebuffer making the boot messages too small to read) edit /etc/default/grub to make the changes. Don't forget to "# update-grub" afterwards.
