I still find no way to boot a 2.5.69 kernel.
It reports: "no console found, specify init= option"
But the console is specified and the messages appear till this point:

This is the relevant part of my config:

I have CONFIG_VT=y at this spot in 'character devices'.

Quoted 6 lines

CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_LP_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y

Looks as if init can't seem to find the device node file... Check your /dev to see if there is a console entry there:

/dev/console c 5 1

This isn't a kernel issue.

/dev/console c 5 1

That's exactly what I have and still no way.

Well, I'm looking for a bit of help to test 2.5 kernels in several machines (laptops, servers, desktops) because I have not been able to solve this problem.

What kind of console do you have configured in and what's your kernel command line?

It's a Dell laptop, nothing special.

This is the relevant part of my config:
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_LP_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y

And the part of /boot/grub/grub.conf:
title Pau Linux (2.5.69)

        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.5.69 ro root=/dev/hda1

Try using

# CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE is not set

Let me know if this works. Then try the latest BK tree. I sent in fix for the locking some dual headed systems where experiencing.
