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.
Cheers
