You seem to have chosen to use the generic VGA driver. If I remember correctly 
this mode can only display upto 640x480 at 8 bit colour mode.

You then try to run 16 bit colour mode. This does not fit within the memory of 
a generic VGA card (256 kB). It seems there are two options to solving your 
problem:

1. Use the correct driver for your video chipset.
2. If the generic VGA driver is indeed all your chipset can handle: use 8 bit 
colour mode, or buy a better graphics card.
