Comment 1 Florian Effenberger 2004-10-16 21:33:57 UTC 
radeonfb seems to be missing from initrd, that causes this.
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-18 02:50:21 UTC 
framebuffers aren't set up by default to be loaded in the initrd; you
can configure this if you so desire.
Comment 3 Florian Effenberger 2004-10-18 15:56:10 UTC 
Is there an easy way of including them? What are the steps to take? I 
guess something with mkinitrd?
