So in order to enable something under the Character devices menu you need to 1st enable something under "Input device support". Which for some reason is configured as a module? It says something that I resorted to editing .config by hand. Is it too much to ask to make the defaults give us a working console? Otherwise we will be answering the question of "why does screen go blank after uncompressing" for the entire 2.6 cycle!! The number of people who don't want to enable config_vt is fairly small, and they will be wanting to remove a number of our defaults any way. -- Once you have their hardware. Never give it back.
