i have problems with framebuffer console - i compiled everything related i've seen in the kernel config, but after reboot, when the screen blinks like it was going to switch to fb, it remains blank and the system hangs up.
here is my lspci output:

Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [KM400/A] Chipset Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237 PCI Bridge
00:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
00:0f.0 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)

00:10.4 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 86)
00:11.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237 ISA bridge [KT600/K8T800/K8T890 South]
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 78)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [S3 UniChrome] Integrated Video (rev 01)


the kernel: (2.6.14-r4)
in device drivers -> character devices, i turned on agpgart with via chipset support and direct rendering manager with via unichrome card support
in device drivers -> graphics support i turned on vesa vga graphics support (vesafb-tng,1024x768)
and framebuffer console support in console display driver support.(there is no via card in graphics support section)

from the livecd, the framebuffer boots OK so it seems it is a kernel config problem but i have no idea how else to configure it as with any other machine(with other chipset/video card) the similar configuration works ok

any ideas?

Boot the livecd and get the kernel config from /proc/config.gz and compared that to yours.
