Warning: unable to open an initial console.

I am getting the error: Warning: unable to open an initial console.

When I boot the 2.2.14 kernel on my Embedded Planet clcc 860t board
using the mvista hardhat software.

Any ideas?  I took a look at the /opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/8xx/target
directory, I can find a "dev" directory but there is nothing in it.  Is
there some RPM I need to install?  I think that I have
downloaded/installed all of the RPM's from the mvista ftp site.

Any help would be appreciated.

-John

either you missed an RPM or you were not root when you installed. try
installing the filesystem RPM again.
