The linux logo is your real problem. I looked at the vanilla linux
sources, and there's no way to compile fbcon.c without the logo. So
Mandrake's patches must have made the process more fragile.
Suggest you start over from Mandrake's configuration, and turn off
options a few at a time, and rebuild after every few options. In
fact, build and install the kernel once with exactly Mandrake's
configuration. WHen I did this (Mandrake 6.1, 7.0, 7.1), I ran into
problems where the configuration they ship doesn't build.
For best results, build like this.
make clean
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
You can do it all in one line like this.
make clean && make dep && make bzImage && make modules
Then it will run all the way through and you can go do something else.
If you want to test your kernel, then continue with these steps.
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-whatever
chmod 644 /boot/vmlinuz-whatever
cp System.map /boot/System.map-whatever
chmod 644 /boot/System.map-whatever
lilo # unless you use grub...
A simpler thing you could try first is to simply disable the framebuffer
console. Deselect it here.
Console drivers --->
Frame-buffer support --->
Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW)
Then rebuild as above.
