It seems that Lucid have chosen vga16fb per default. vga16fb doesn't support the vga= parameter and ends in broken tty consoles.

So I exchanged vga16fb with vesafb.
I added vga16fb to the blacklist (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf) and removed vesafb from it.

Furthermore I added fbcon and vesafb to /etc/modules. (I'm not sure if it runs without this modification.)
