I have some problems with vesafb after recompiling kernel

['Forum Post]

I have the same problem. I already tried everything that´s suggested on
this and other forums, still no luck. I tried with NVIDIA Geforce FX
5900 and ATI Radeon, same thing happens. 



Whenever I recompile my kernel using a config file from a stock ubuntu
kernel and boot this new kernel, framebuffer console shows a black
screen. When the system boots into X the screen works OK. I recompiled
the kernel on my Debian system dozens of times and never had this
problem.



I use:


Code:
--------------------
    make-kpkg --added-patches=bootsplash,suspend2 --append-to-version=my --config x --initrd binary-arch

  
--------------------




.config:


Code:
