Anyone using syscons with patchkit 0.2.2 (or recent patches) will have a problem...

I don't know what patch it is off hand, but one of them moves the pg()
function out of pccons.c and into cons.c for use by some other routines.

There is also a pg() routine in syscons.c, so, if you build a kernel you'll
get a duplicate error message.

Solution:  just comment out the pg() in syscons.c  (the function not the prototype)

Hope thats useful!

Lee.
