New fbcon attempt with test11bk9 & cvs ruby

[Helge H. <hel...@ai...>]

I compiled a new kernel today.  2.6.0-test11-bk9 with
today's cvs ruby-2.6

I first tried a monolithic kernel with G550 framebuffer and fbcon.
Unlike previous fbcon attempts this didn't oops!
I got all the normal kernel initialization output,
then init took over and ran the usual scripts.
Everything was fine until it attempted to start xdm.
Nothing happened after that.  I also didn't get any gettys
so no opportunities to log in and no console switching.

I also made a kernel without fbcon.  The same thing happened,
it booted (this time with no console output after the framebuffer
driver loaded) and got stuck later.  X didn't start.

My guess is some sort of Vt problem, as that prevents both
X and getty from starting.  I also noticed that the cvs update
updated vt.c
