Can you use vesafb instead of vga16fb? That should be far more
reliable.
vesafb is built into the Debian kernel, so presumably that works.
I've no idea why debian-installer loads vga16fb. Frans, any idea?
For the graphical installer we force the use of vesafb by directfb, but we
don't do anything like that for the regular installer. So you could try
booting installgui and see if that does work.
Other option could be to boot with 'install video=vga16fb:off', but I'm not
sure if that's supported.
