Re: Boot Console on LCD working

Hi Andrew,

since i dont use modules right now, it did not work, since fbcon got
initialized before mq1100fb... is there any way to change the
initialization order if i compile them statically into the kernel?

Or, does anyone have a initrd with module loading working (i thought i
read on the h2200 homepage, that the kernel is currently always
statically compiled)?
Anyway, it should work with a statically compiled kernel too, shouldn't it?

Greetings, Patty
