[wellylug] CCUX install stops at "vesafb"

[Pete Black]

It sounds more like the problem is that the videocard in your machine 
is either non-vesa compliant, or chokes on the default vesa framebuffer 
mode.

try appending the 'vga=ask' argument to the kernel and see if you can 
select a mode that works.

it's also conceivable that framebuffer would work on your machine given 
the appropriate video= driver appended to the kernel, but the correct 
args are hardware dependent and can be tricky as hell.

I have had very similar issues on macs installing PPC Linux, where 
framebuffer is mandatory as well. Sorting it out can be an exercise in 
frustration, and it is unforutnate that your hardware simply seems to 
be incompatible with CCUX's requirements.
