However, I cannot get any tty output to appear on my video device. tty output appears on the serial port, as does the login prompt. I'm pretty sure this is a problem with my root file system configuration, but I can't find any information on how to get it to work. I've checked the fbdev documentation, done numerous Google searches, and searched the archives of this mailing list, but I can't even find any threads discussing the issue, let alone answering it. So what am I missing? What do I need to do in my rootfs to get tty output and the login prompt to appear on my video device, and not the serial port? Here's my kernel command line: root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 video=fslfb:1280x1024-32@60,monitor=dvi panic=1 ramdisk_size1000 debug=1 -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
