Is it absolutely mandatory to remove this option? there's no way to get a newer kernel running via quik on your/my machine with "CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT=y", believe me or test it for yourself; and you don't need any BootX kernel messages if you let quik be your bootloader. >: >: > while in OF (opt-command-o-f during startboing): >: >: hum, this might be a problem.. maybe I didn't do it at exactly the right >: moment, but I never managed to do this in the last few days.
