[parisc-linux] kernel 2.6.3 compile problem

[Eggert Ehmke]

Hello!

This is my first message on this list. If  need some kind of registration, 
please let me know.

I run a HP PA-RISC B132L+ with Debian Woody as a DSL Gateway/Firwall for our 
home network. Right now we have the kernel 2.4.25-pa0 running. The kernel is 
compiled from sources by gcc 3.0.4. The system runs fine.

Now I tried to compile kernel 2.6.2-pa0 and 2.6.3-pa2 with the same result: 
the compile fails with this message:

--   CC      drivers/char/tty_io.o
In file included from include/linux/selection.h:11,
                 from drivers/char/tty_io.c:101:
include/linux/vt_buffer.h:19:21: asm/vga.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [drivers/char/tty_io.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

There is indeed no file include/asm/vga.h. But if I understand the 
documentation right, I need to include VGA support. Can you please tell me 
where I am wrong? These are my console settings in .config:

CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_STI_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS=160
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS=64
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FONTS is not set
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y

no, you don't want VGA console. STI console (and possibly serial
console) is the one you want.

Registration is not required, but I maybe you like to register your

I think this is the culprit. There is not VGA support on Linux/PA-RISC.

This is the culprit, and I stumble across it all the time. How do we go
about setting this to CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=n as the default?

Done.

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain

change drivers/video/console/Kconfig:
config VGA_CONSOLE
        bool "VGA text console" if EMBEDDED || !X86
        depends on !ARCH_ACORN && !ARCH_EBSA110 && !4xx && !8xx && !SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && !M68K
        default y
...

I'm not sure why, but is arch/parisc/defconfig being ignored?
It seems to disable VGA_CONSOLE by default as do all the
sample configs in arch/parisc/configs/*.
