For 2.6, you must ensure that CONFIG_INPUT, CONFIG_VT, CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE, and CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE are all set to "y" (i.e. these features are built into the kernel image and not as modules). To use a framebuffer as the console, you must also enable CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE, but this one can be a module. The quickest way to set all these is probably to edit the file .config in the root of the kernel source tree. -- Joseph Fannin jh...@ri...
