This patch (https://github.com/openrisc/linux/pull/5) should take care of it. Can't say if it's the correct solution though, but it works both with and without a VGA console >> >> //Olof > > Thanks. Hello, I think I will take Randy's patch instead. The patch above defines screen_info, but I am not sure if it has been used or if anyone has got vga consoles working on openrisc. We can always add vga console support if someone has the hardware and can test it. It will be harder to take it away. -Stafford
