Using my own 2.4.22-3mdkcustom, everything is fine when CONFIG_FBCON_SPLASHSCREEN is not defined.stranger still, with my laptop the 2.4.22 kernels just hangs at boot when it gets to syslog. (2.4.22-1mdk, 2.4.22-3mdk 2.4.22-3tmb)
Just defining it make the kernel fails at boot, as soon as syslog is launched. The error message is "unable to handle null pointer dereference at virtual adress 00000004". Just turning off syslog service is OK to prevent the problem.
same behaviour with a custom kernel without CONFIG_FBCON_SPLASHSCREEN.
when i start it in single mode it hangs at the root password prompt.
booting with -b works
