I get the usual loading kernel, uncompressing, booting.
After it tells me it's booting the kernel I see no more screen activity at
all, but it is finishing the boot process. It does leave that text on the
screen, but nothing more.
I don't have any odd type console like serial or paralell unless there's
something I mistakenly turned on.
This is a Sony GRX-570 with an ATI Radeon Mobility (7500).
I've tried with and without fb, neither did any help.
Thanks

You need to enable "Support for console on virtual terminal",
aka CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE.
Maybe someone should fix that.

Did you try adding "console=tty0" to the boot command? That got broken too.

There may be more to this problem.
I have a 2.5.64bk3 kernel with CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y. It boots fine
on one P4 desktop computer, with regular output on the console.
On another desktop computer (a P3), I get no kernel printk's but user
level programs print their output. For example I see fsck print its
output. However, that computer system hangs after fsck apparently
finishes. The computer with the console problems under 2.5.64bk3
boots 2.5.64 and 2.5.64bk1 fine. I haven't tried 2.5.64bk2 yet.

Thank you! That was the problem.
The machine that originally worked had
"console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty0" so that its kernel messages
can be logged to a serial port. The machine that did not work
did not have any "console=" boot argument. Adding "console=tty0"
restored console behavior.

I put it in the config but it gets removed by checkconfig.pl when I make, so
I'm guessing there's more missing than just the line in the config. :-/

Yeah, got that. I think it's probably the fact that CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE isn't
defined because it's not in the menuconfig anywhere, putting it in .config
get's cleaned out by checkconfig.pl.

CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE doesn't appear if you define CONFIG_INPUT as either m or
n. Rerun menuconfig, change the CONFIG_INPUT to y and then you can set
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE.

Don't compile the input layer as a module.

Yeah, I got it. Thanks Andrew, Duncan, and Thomas.
