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
