Code:

CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_EFI=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y


Code:

[    0.291074] efifb: probing for efifb
[    0.291093] efifb: framebuffer at 0xc0000000, using 5120k, total 5120k

[    0.303670] fb0: EFI VGA frame buffer device
[    1.436878] fb: switching to radeondrmfb from EFI VGA


Now I can see the kernel and systemd messages but then all goes blank. I can't see the login prompt.

To make it work I had to enable fbdev support for KMS.

These are the kernel options:
Code:

Graphics support
| [m] ATI Radeon (DRM_RADEON)
|----- [y] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) (DRM)
|---------- [y] Enable legacy fbdev support for your modesetting driver (DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION)
|----- Frame buffer Devices
|---------- [y] EFI-based Framebuffer Support (FB_EFI)


Code:

[    0.288875] efifb: probing for efifb
[    0.288893] efifb: framebuffer at 0xc0000000, using 5120k, total 5120k
[    0.288900] efifb: mode is 1280x1024x32, linelength=5120, pages=1
[    0.288905] efifb: scrolling: redraw
[    0.288912] efifb: Truecolor: size=8:8:8:8, shift=24:16:8:0
[    0.301478] fb0: EFI VGA frame buffer device
[    1.417872] fb: switching to radeondrmfb from EFI VGA
[    2.759589] [drm] fb mappable at 0xC0722000
[    2.759614] [drm] fb depth is 24
[    2.759939] fbcon: radeondrmfb (fb0) is primary device
[    2.776402] radeon 0000:00:01.0: fb0: radeondrmfb frame buffer device
