Try booting with the vesafb.anything=1 kernel parameter.

This wiki page has details about how to add a kernel boot parameter for

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters


Also, try removing 'splash quiet' from the kernel options and see if that matters.  That should bypass plymouth which sometimes can leave the GPU in an inconsistent state.
