This sounds nice, the empty name can be used to defer consoles that are not known early. And on console_setup() we only set the devname for such cases. To me it seems we additionally still need to save the kernel command line position of the console too in struct kernel_cmdline so we can set the preferred_console for the deferred cases. Regards, Tony
