The error is -ENXIO and in vesafb it means that your graphics card 
failed to go to graphics mode.

Can you post your dmesg and kernel config?

It finally worked, when I added
vga=0x314 video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap 
to my kernel parameters. 

With only vga=8 as a kernel parameters, and then trying
modprobe vesafb
fbset
it didn't want to work, should it?
