Iirc for such ATI 3D Rage on a non-i386 platform you would have to select:

 CONFIG_FB_ATY_XL_INIT: (sic "to support booting a Rage XL without BIOS support.")

i.e. something like in your make menuconfig:

<M>   ATI Mach64 display support
[*]     Mach64 CT/VT/GT/LT (incl. 3D RAGE) support
[ ]       Mach64 generic LCD support (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW)
[*]       Rage XL No-BIOS Init support

Hth,
