Yes that would maintain the status-quo from ages ago, but it still doesn't actually fix the core problem :-) What we should probably do is parse the output-device prom environment variable, and using that set the console framebuffer device. One way to do that would be to cons up a dummy console= kernel command line entry if the user hasn't explicitly specified one. Otherwise it's going to be a bit messy. Actually, I'll take a look at the console<-->fb hookup internals a little bit more, perhaps there is an easier solution. But the bottom line is that we must use the output-device to determine the console output framebuffer device in the absense of a console= command line specification. Oh btw, Tom, does my scsi bus reset patch help your SS4 at all? :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
