Hi All!
it seems that the build system now does not allow
to disable the VGA Console anymore :(
removing
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
or replacing with
# CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE is not set
gets automatically changed back to
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
on make?
system is x86, but what if I do not have a vga console at all?
best,
Herbert

Yes, that is an "idiot proofing" change for 2.6 so people don't accidentally
turn off the video and keyboard -- as will happen if a 2.4 .config is used
in 2.6.
(It took me a minute to realize why the options for turning off input weren't
avaliable... on sparc64 no less.)
