Just looked at vesafb source again - it doesn't even have a

It's a Debian specific change, you'll have to look

which does not get along with this laptop.

Yes... this actually has a long history in Debian, see #161931.

Max, if you have time, could you compile a kernel with vesafb enabled

plain vesafb works fine, just booted up, relevant config:
-- config-2.4.23 snippet
# Frame-buffer support

CONFIG_FB

vesafb also works fine for my Desknote sis630 videoboard.
Joey, could be something related with IRQ for videoboard disabled on your laptop setup?!?
No. The IRQ is irrelevant.

For the record: vga16 or whatever this thing is called can't work on
that machine (not at least due to the LCD). It's either vesafb or sisfb

The new installer does use vesafb, apparent
4.14). Due to the many different kernels out there, I
can't provide a patch.
