You need a few things to let this work:

- Current module-init-tools (plus a little patch which is IMHO not yet
  officially released; it was sent to LKML).
- Compile in the input core.
- Compile in support for VGA console
- Build PS/2 serial and keyboard support as modules
- Place the names of console-relevant modules into some
  (distribution-specific) place where they'll be loaded. For me, I do
  load these modules:

  psmouse
  pcspkr
  atkbd
  i8042
  serio
  mousedev
- Eventually compile in the serial driver and additionally do serial
  console with it.
