You have to configure the kernel to use the  framebuffer  as  console
device. Check especially the following configuration options:

	CONFIG_FB=y
	CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
	CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y
	CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
	CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y
	CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
	CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
	CONFIG_VT=y
	CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
	CONFIG_CONSOLE_NOBLANK=y
	CONFIG_CONSOLE_NOCUR=y

Also, see the FAQ at
