Here's the full story, which I'm hoping to address all related problems with.
We agreed that a VGA console and the need to run any option ROMs is mutually
not strictly dependent, Luc's problem was that LBv2 code doesn't reflect
that. There are 6 combinations:
* Console may be on VGA or not

Agreed. How about an additional CONFIG_NONVGA_ROM_RUN?
This is a good start. I assume you have tested it with abuild. Please
try to get another ack from Ron or Luc as well.

Maybe, in V3, a way to specify which roms to run, partly during
buildtime, partly through rtc cmos, could be looked into.
Yes, a move to cmos control is an excellent idea.
It looks very good from an initial glance, but i will

I'm missing the all option ROMs except VGA choice for machines with a

With native init, with the native device becoming VGA Primary, the vga
rom doesn't get run,

This fixes the problem when CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA is set but requires CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN, which is a mistake.

Not yet. This fixes the problem Luc found along the way, and which nobody has
cared about for a while.
How do we want to express now that the console is on a VGA-compatible device

There's a harder problem. What if we're on a a system with a unichrome

My main concern is that console on VGA and ROM emulators are orthogonal, and

I don't understand the comment. Console on VGA may in
