Interesting, the kernel is not showing anything about the framebuffer device fb0. Could you check if in /dev there is a framebuffer device? There should be a file called fb0 or fb with another number. Can you also print the output of:
$ dmesg | grep fbcon This would be to check the kernel output if it tries to set a device for outputting kernel messages to a framebuffer device. I think there is an option missing in your kernelconfig. Did you build your own kernel or are you using a binary or similar? Am Mo., 24.
