I still find no way to boot a 2.5.69 kernel.
It reports: "no console found, specify init= option"
But the console is specified and the messages appear till this point:
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?

I have CONFIG_VT=y at this spot in 'character devices'.

Looks as if init can't seem to find the device node file... Check your
/dev to see if there is a console entry there:
/dev/console c 5 1
This isn't a kernel issue.

That's exactly what I have and still no way.

Well, I'm looking for a bit of help to test 2.5 kernels in several
machines (laptops, servers, desktops) because I have not been able to
solve this problem.

What kind of console do you have configured in and what's your kernel
command line?

It's a Dell laptop, nothing special.
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
And the part of /boot/grub/grub.conf:
title Pau Linux (2.5.69)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.5.69 ro root=/dev/hda1

Try using
# CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE is not set
Let me know if this works. Then try the latest BK tree. I sent in fix for
the locking some dual headed systems where experiencing.
