vga16_init() has nothing to do with clgenfb, you must have added suport
for vga16 framebuffer and it's dieing somewhere in its init (not
suprising). Remove that and just add support for clgen only. A while ago
I hacked clgen to work on my powermac, you'll need to fix the PIO
for your machine if its broken, as it is on some pmac's still.
(i'm assuming you're using a pmac)
