If i may stick my nose in, i would firstly take a _very_ close look
at the way 2.2.x kernels are made, ie what you define in the
# Console drivers <section>
I fell into this pitfall, i got oopses strange colors on my screen
lockups you name it i had it. The answer is very easy RTFM
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/*
I'm not saying thats your problem, but one which will cause you grief
if its defined improperly, i know i was there had that and finaly
redfaced got it all going.
