earlier printk output
RFC PATCH 1/1 earlier printk output
This patch creates console devices specifically for use during early boot, and registers them so that printk() output may be seen prior to console_init().
The patch is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/wli/early_printk/
Included are i386 config options, early VGA text output, and early i386 serial output.
Cheers,
Bill

nice. these patches work on some non-x86 platforms too...

Where is this patch? Sine I have rewritten the console/tty layer I'm quite interested in this.

I would be much obliged to hear of success running on other platforms, and to integrate config options for them as well.
My testing for this specific patch has been limited to i386. I intend to confer with IA64 maintainers for that platform, as a different approach is currently in use there.
Thanks,
Bill
