Impossible to open the root console with 2.6.15

[Jean-Marie Teuler]

Dear Mark,

No. I was not passing any option (besides the standard NFSROOT options
(root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot= ip=).

Actually, the trick suggested by Jean-François Simon (disabling the
virtual terminals option in the kernel configuration) solved the problem
(please see my previous post).

Thanks for your interest anyway.
