Hi Antony,<br>
<br>
you have two possibilities for enabling it:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Just uncomment "CONSOLE_CMD" in ipxe/src/config/general.h
(this is lost after git upgrade)<br>
</li>
<li>write the "#define CONSOLE_CMD" into the file
ipxe/src/config/local/general.h (this persists over upgrade
(@Michael:right?))</li>
</ol>
<p><br>
</p>

If you were able to compile it, most of the work is done :-)<br>

Merely using the command alone does reset the screen, but
attempting to use any parameters at all results in a "No such
file or directory" error.<br>
I've tried using the DEBUG=console:3 in the build parameters,
but I'm not getting any more output than normal from it :/<br>
Even a command such as "console -x 720 -y 400" fails like this,
even though that's already the active display format...<br>
Any ideas?</div>

Did you try enabling it together with a picture? You are able to use
png and pnm format. I.e.<br>
<br>
"console -x 640 -y 480 --picture tftp://myserver/mypic.png" worked
fine for me.<br>
<br>
The 720x400 format seems to to be a standard VESA resolution, but
640x480 should always work.<br>

<div>My build command is: make clean bin/ipxe.lkrn
EMBED=script.ipxe</div>
<div>and I have uncommented the referenced settings seen at <a

"make clean bin/ipxe.lkrn EMBED=script.ipxe" seems wrong with the
"clean" keyword in it. If you want to debug console command, better
use<br>
"make bin/ipxe.lkrn EMBED=script.ipxe DEBUG=vesafb" so you can see
if your choosen reolution is supported.<br>
