+Do not turn off kernel framebuffer support as it is required for a successful +boot. If you are using an NVIDIA based chipset, you should use the OpenFirmware +framebuffer. If you are using an ATI based chipset, you should select the +framebuffer driver based upon your chipset (Mach64, Rage128 or Radeon). +

+ +
+Device Drivers --->
+  Graphics support --->
+    <*> Support for frame buffer devices
+    [*] Open Firmware frame buffer device support
+    <*> ATI Radeon display support
+    <*> ATI Rage128 display support
+    <*> ATI Mach64 display support
+    Console display driver support --->
+      <*> Framebuffer Console support
+
+ + +If you select more than one framebuffer device, it may default to a less than +optimal driver. Either use only one framebuffer device or specify which +to use by passing the driver to use to the kernel on boot such as +video=radeonfb. + + +

When you're done configuring your kernel, continue with Compiling and Installing.
