I thought that your question was about the root= kernel boot parameter. Well, there are several questions to be asked. and one more comment. 1. what video (framebuffer) driver are you using? 2. is it builtin the kernel image or is it a loadable module? 3. have you read Documentation/svga.txt and Documentation/fb/{fbcon,vesafb}.txt ? And my comment is that your question (about video) would be better on the linux-fbdev@vger.kernel.org mailing list. It's not about kbuild/kconfig, unless kconfig is not saving the build parameters correctly... --- ~Randy
