Hello,
menuconfig says this for CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK: | | | Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial | | port. | | | | This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very | | early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation | | it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate | | with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here, | | unless you want to debug such a crash. |
So, why then is it default if it should better be N? (Fresh vanilla linux-2.6.9.tar.bz2 tree from kernel.org)
