FC3, hope you are aware that you must pass additional arguments to the
kernel to make it boot into Framebuffer mode. This must be done in the
/etc/grub.conf file.
I have pasted some parts of my gub.conf here, (FC4) . The second block
is basically just a copty of the first block, but notice the VGA=0x305 added
to it.
Thats what tells the kernel to boot into framebuffer mode.
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) With Framebuffer
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
vga=0x305
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
