Hi All,

	Compiled a kernel using Daniel's suggested config - no scsi etc.... Works 
fine, however, after the reboot I have no console, all I get is this:

....and that's it. The machine boots, I can ssh into it but no console :-( 
What am I missing here?

Also,

The patch posted by Andreas does indeed work for the lcd, but the buttons 
don't function... aaargh!!!!

Kind Regards,
Pete.
