Re: [Gumstix-users] Buildroot errors when building Virtual Terminal

[ohm u. <oun...@ya...>]

hiya,

There's an option for "VGA TEXT CONSOLE" that you need
to DISable when you get that error. It should be in
the usual spot in the kernel config: Graphics support
or Character Devices. Good luck and keep us posted!
