I guess that is the culprit. If you choose at bootup anything else than 
standard resolution (25x80 text mode!) a framebuffer driver must be used and 
this is ususally vesafb. Hence your options are to build your own kernel and 
compile radeonfb rather than vesafb into the kernel (thats what I have done, 
but I am not using fedora -- I have to build my own kernel anyway), or boot 
your system with standard resolution.
