I've just booted 3.16.2 with LFS-7.6 x86_64. For the kernel I turned off CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER (a fallback, no longer required unless non-std) and cleared 'External firmware blobs to build into the kernel'.
The console is 80x25 instead of 100x40, no penguins, and setting up the console stopped with an error message: putfont: KDFONTOP: Invalid argument This is because of the following in the log: [ 0.680578] [drm] radeon: 512M of VRAM memory ready [ 0.680610] [drm] radeon: 1024M of GTT memory ready.
