I have had problems getting this to work also, but was able to get it working finally
after being directed to the authors website and following his instructions.  What I
did was get a 2.6.24 kernel working for me fully with no errors then proceded to follow
spock's instructions to get uvesafb working properly on both my desktop and laptop.
Hope this gives you what you need to get it working.

Just a shot in the dark are you using any kind of tv-out?

I had this problem with tv-out. I specified a resolution of 1280x1024.
When I connect my tv to my box the maximal resolution possible is
1024x768 because the tv-encoder does not offer higher resolutions. So
instead of switching to the next greatest resolution of 1024x768 the
uvesafb driver switches to smallest resolution of 640x480. This
resolution is not available in the emergence theme thus the splash fails!

If you have a problem like this there are existing patches whto the
kernel which are fixing this issue!

What does "cat /sys/devices/platform/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes" say?

Regards,

Daniel
