I do not have this recovery console, I prefer the one in backup menu.

According to /sbin/preinit:

'ACT-DEAD' (charging while 'off' mode) is init run level 5
start up, 'USER/BOOT' is init run level 2

If you put the modprobe fbcon in /sbin/preinit at ANY point it will always modprobe fbcon even if you are just plugging it in while it is off. (act dead mode) This is kinda cool however I am seeing some odd behavior with this. (however this may just be related to me rebooting while plugged into power, n900 goes into act dead mode as oppose to reboot (ancient kernel power bug))

If you put modprobe fbcon into /bootmenu.sh you will only see console output when you boot into backup menu and if you don't modify BM to hide battery charging output it really fecks up BM.

This leaves the last place being a short script (think 1 liner) in /etc/rcS.d or rc2.d. I think putting a short init script to modprobe fbcon would be best there.


1 more thing....

Why the hell does the LED not function when fbcon module is loaded? I mean not function at all. modprobing fbcon==no notification led...

mmm, seems I am talking from my *****. After a hard reset (battery out) my LED is back! I guess forced rmmod'ding fbcon then resetting due to dsme crash really screws the system up!
