Now that's very confusing. So in order to enable something under the
Character devices menu you need to 1st enable something under "Input
device support". Which for some reason is configured as a module? It
says something that I resorted to editing .config by hand.
Is it too much to ask to make the defaults give us a working
console? Otherwise we will be answering the question of "why does
screen go blank after uncompressing" for the entire 2.6 cycle!! The
number of people who don't want to enable config_vt is fairly small, and
they will be wanting to remove a number of our defaults any way.
