HEllo,
Today I tried kernel 2.5.72. And it compiled without any problems. (on a
i686 - PIV)
But when I'm trying to boot from that kernel, it stops just after the line
'uncompressing .................. ok now booting'
I tried to compile the kernel as a i386, pentium classic , and a pentium
pro, but it always gives the same results.
Anybody has an idea what I did wrong?
rgrds,
Bart

You gotta have the input device support (CONFIG_INPUT) built-in to be able to
select virtual terminal (CONFIG_VT) and console on VT (CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE)
support found in character devices submenu. You'll also need a driver, "VGA
text console" (CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE) will do.
Hope it helps.
Rudo.
I got same issue on 2.5.70 and 2.5.71 and still waiting form some help.

You need to turn on the options within the input/char driver? menu
within menuconfig to turn on the console. I believe there are two
options you need to say yes to. Someone with clearer memory can post the
exact ones.

JS,
Thanks for the further assistance! I checked the configuration and found only thing missing was "Virtual Terminal" part.
Now I enable both of them as kernel build-in support and rebuild kernel. After copied bzImage to /boot and rebooted, I still got same result:
Loading 2.5.72 ......................................
uncompressing Linux ... Ok, booting the kernel.
Then it stopped, nothing comes out from screen.
There must be something else.
