Well... This patch seems to do nothing... :( none of the console= lines I pass to the kernel with lilo seem to work. To help facilitate debugging I tried: append="console=null console=lp console=tty" And that didnt seem to do anything... I still get "cannot open initial console" in the logs... An on the lp (I turned on lp message logging in the kernel).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Mike
