In my kernel configuration <VGA text console> in <console drivers> is not
selected!
If I'm running the kernel on an other maschine ( with monitor ) or on the
jumptec evaluation board ( without vga and without monitor ) the last message i
get is "uncompressing linux " ( on the pc with monitor).
then nothning more happens on the monitor, but on the serial line i get the
kernel messages and
a terminal!
I can not add a video card to the embedded system, there is no hardware for it.
Thanks
