Sure. I just used "make defconfig" for the kernel. My elilo config (for netbooting) is below. I use ttyS0 (serial A) as my console. I pass "console=uart,mmio,0xff5e0000" so that the console starts working very early. "console=ttyS0" would work as well, but wouldn't start working until after the serial driver finds its devices. But it sounds like you're using VGA at the moment. I rarely use that, but I think "console=tty0" would be the way to explicitly specify that. I think you would need CONFIG_VT, CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE, and CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE set for this (they're all set in defconfig). Here's my elilo config: delay=100 root=/dev/sda2 read-only prompt image=/helgaas/ia64/vmlinux.gz label=Linux append="console=uart,mmio,0xff5e0000 debug" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
