First of all u need to select following options while compiling the kernel.
console drivers
|
+--> Video mode selection support (y)
Frame-buffer support (y)
|
+--> Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL) (y)
VESA VGA graphics console (y)
vga=ask shows modes for text support only and u need graphix mode for the
logo.
for this try vga=0x10?
see linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt
