OK after reading the uvesafb manual I came up with this rather simple
workaround that makes my boot experience much better, still a bit jumpy.

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools

add:
uvesafb mode_option=1280x800-32 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap

obviously changing your resolution to what you want then:

sudo update-initramfs -u

On my M1330 with a nVidia G8400M this worked. Probably not a general
workaround though.
