Check your .config for CONFIG_FB and turn that to 'n' as well. Don't forget to remove/uncomment any vga=... lines from your lilo, or the equivalent from your grub, and run lilo if needed.

CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE must be set to 'y', and if you have CONFIG_AGP set, then be sure to select the correct CONFIG_AGP_* option to 'y', and CONFIG_DRM is also set (the correct CONFIG_DRM_* needed as well for your card). > So it looks like a console problem and we can forget the SATA thing at > the moment.
