2.5.72 doesn't boot
HEllo,
Today I tried kernel 2.5.72. And it compiled without any problems. (on a i686 - PIV) But when I'm trying to boot from that kernel, it stops just after the line
'uncompressing .................. ok now booting'
I tried to compile the kernel as a i386, pentium classic , and a pentium pro, but it always gives the same results. Anybody has an idea what I did wrong?
rgrds,

You gotta have the input device support (CONFIG_INPUT) built-in to be able to select virtual terminal (CONFIG_VT) and console on VT (CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE) support found in character devices submenu. You'll also need a driver, "VGA text console" (CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE) will do.
Hope it helps.
