You need to compile a kernel with framebuffer support.
On 2.6, select the following kernel options:
Code maturity level options > Prompt for development and/or incomplete
code/drivers
Device drivers > Graphics support > Support for framebuffer devices
Enabling VESA VGA graphics support should suffice for the majority of
the cases. Also enable "Video mode selection support" and "Framebuffer
Console support".
Next go into "Logo configuration" and enable "Bootup logo". Select the
type of logo that you want to display and compile your kernel.
Next, update your grub config to pass in an argument such "vga=XXX" to
your kernel. You can get the correct vga value by taking a look at
Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt in your kernel sources.
