thanks 1000 times to John Yates!!and all of you!!!

this worked for me perfectly:

ubuntu gutsy framebufer fix for switching to VT:

1. sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

add following lines:

fbcon
vesafb

2. sudo update-initramfs -u

3. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer

change the line "blacklist vesafb" to "# blacklist vesafb"

4. sudo sh -c "echo 'fbcon' >>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules"

5. sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

this line should look like this (for 1280x800 resolution screen)

# defoptions=quiet vga=773 splash
