Try again without any framebuffer modules. You can just use VGA text mode
on the console with x86 hardware. If you pick the wrong framebuffer, the
kernel might boot but it won't be able to show anything on the screen.
The GCC in potato shouldn't have any problems compiling the kernel. glibc
makes zero difference. The kernel doesn't touch glibc.
