Hi,
I just want to switch to the pure console mode. and the steps are:
1. insert the mouldes :
"
It will take few days to update bootmenu. As for kernel - search for framebuffer console. Different people have different taste :-) IMO kernel modules are more flexible (you can insert them only when you need them and you can use almost any kernel, not just self-built custom one). You can put them (softcursor.ko bitblit.ko font.ko fbcon.ko) to lib/modules/current when creating initfs and then just add them to
MENU_X_MODULES like this
MENU_X_MODULES="mbcache ext2 softcursor bitblit font fbcon" to let bootmenu insert them for you

My current testing bootmenu.conf has item like this

MENU_X_MODULES="mbcache ext2 softcursor bitblit font fbcon"
MENU_X_FBMODE="auto"

"
someone says like that, but I dont know how to get these softcursor.ko bitblit.ko font.ko fbcon.ko modules and where is MENU_X_MODULES and bootmenu.conf
2. use command " fb_update_mode auto " , i have done.
3. chvt 1
4. then maybe i can get the pure console.

Hard as it may be to imagine, putting 5-foot high text in does not really make anyone feel like helping -- it makes them feel like hitting the back button quickly.

You might try searching on bootmenu or bootmenu.conf; it's in the initfs, if you use Fanoush's bootmenu. I expect Faheem (qwerty12) built those modules, and knowing him, he probably posted them in that thread, or a related one you could find with the search; look around a bit.
