This is infuriating....
I rebuilt the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels on LFS-5.0 here. Only a 1% change,
mainly in usb because the modules were barfing over hotplug.
Spamd is now starting under the 2.4 kernel and all seems well there.
Loadkeys is running again under the 2.6 kernel. Neither have framebuffer
enabled for the console. The console cursor problem remains. Further, If
I change from a console into X and back out, the cursor vanishes :-((.
At any stage, running 'setfont <same font>' restores the cursor action.
No dri enabled either, btw.
I think the init issue was the poor (idiotic) naming convention of
kernels and maps in the common /boot partition. I now have
vmlinuz-version and System.map-version which was definitely not what I
had before.
