what is vesa error -6



folks, i have 64MB RAM HP OmniBook with 10GB harddisk. i've installed
woody and i'm using kernel 2.6.10 because i want fb support. now my
new kernel boots fine except i can't get 1024x768 on my console
whereas before with slackware i can. i get this error message from
dmesg:

probe of vesafb0 failed with error -6

although i compiled in support for fb, vga16 and everything i can see
related to framebuffer support. now i only have 80x25 console display
which is small.

what is this error and how can i fix this?

tia.
