I'm running a Slackware 10.1 box.
I've decided to try the 2.6.11 kernel and for the life of me I cannot get frame buffering to work. I want to see that cute penguin when i boot my new kernel damnit! :-)
Here's the important bit out of my .config

Also, my lilo.conf has some framebuffering mentioned in it as well could that be part of the problem? for reference:
