Does anyone know off hand, the earlies point that I can use printk?  I
added some printk statements to driver/char/console.c and the resulting
kernel hangs with only the logo showing and no text.  Is prom_printf
something that I should use instead. I put some printk statements in
tty_io.c and kernel/printk.c and those compiled kernels work.

thanks,
john davis
