And you are supposed to be our resident powerpc kernel expert. Shame on you ... What do i care that x86 has vgacon, if the powerpc kernel package is removing all the builtin drivers, i will not have _ANY_ early debugging output, unless you are prepared to bring an x86 emulator into the kernel, and port vesafb or something such.
