Just specify CPUMODEL 7490 in the configuration file, and linux will
probe for a 3215 console. I am not sure that too many people are
using the 3215 console with hercules, I do believe that the 3215
emulation could be improved. It currently is really a 1052, and
does not work that well as a 3215.
>Don't you think it would preclude having a decent console on Hercules?
If Hercules does not set the cpu id to 0xff?? (VM) or 0x7490 (P390)
then the 3215 console is disabled.

Hello:
The code for setup parsing looks like this:
__setup("condev=", condev_setup);
static int __init conmode_setup(char *str) {
#if defined(CONFIG_TN3215_CONSOLE)
if (strncmp(str, "3215", 5) == 0 && (MACHINE_IS_VM || MACHINE_IS_P390))
SET_CONSOLE_3215;
#endif
}
Don't you think it
