You cannot load this module directly, you must provide a boot option.
And in this case you also must make sure that the module is loaded
during the startup since you won't have a console till this happens.

Background: vesafb was never meant to be built as module, it is a joke
introduced in Debian to keep the kernel modular, at any price.
