elektranox at freerunner ~ % uname -a

I will not post the complete config, because it's >2000 lines long
and I'm using the standard kernel from the debian repository. But
here is the part, you're probably interested in:

#
# Character devices
#
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_NR_TTY_DEVICES=63
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y
# CONFIG_DEVKMEM is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD is not set
