Did someone noticed that if a user want to test Linux-2.5,
he downloads for the first time a 2.5 kernel, extract and type
make menuconfig
and that takes its default (.config) from the only kernel
available on his (really standard) distribution - a 2.4.* kernel.
Then, there isn't any CONFIG_VT to choose for (I do not know
why) - it is completely undefined and not present in the menus.
If you type "make bzImage; cp bzImage /boot" you get a kernel
which seems to crash at startup even for the simplest
configuration you've choosen.
The obvious solution is to do - when it is the first time you
configure a 2.5.* kernel, the line:
cp arch/i386/defconfig .config
but I am not sure this is intuitive enough...
Etienne.
