2.6.6 No Display but box still boots

I have compiled a 2.6.6 kernel on debian and I have no display. The box still boots fine and I can access it over ssh.
I have no text console or X console, no boot messages etc.

try to disable the framebuffer in your kernel.

Virtual Terminal enabled, or not?

Well, can you post your .config file...
I think you didn't enabled virtual terminal(with console support).
