Subject: no console found booting 2.5.69


I still find no way to boot a 2.5.6x kernel.
It reports (more or less) : "no console found, specify init= option"

This is the relevant part of my config:
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_LP_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y

What am I missing?

Another problem is the PCMCIA that I already reported for 2.5.68; it
stalls if I don't remove the Cardbus card.

I never got around to sending the patch because I only received one
report. Please try the patch found at:

I get plenty of rejects in 2.5.69. Do you have a newer version for it to
test?

Last night, I posted an updated patch in the "PCMCIA 2.5.X sleeping from
illegal context" thread.

Tha patch works, AFAICS. With this patch the system does not hang and
boots with the card inserted. I still have no solution for the console
problem: the system does not boot and says "no console found".

Any hints?
