I don't know about making it "infinitely" large, but you can have a |
| 24 |
scrollable console history with vesafb (probably with other |
| 25 |
framebuffers aswell, but I've only had experience with vesafb). Check |
| 26 |
out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt for more information. |

You'll have to compile your kernel with vesafb, and run the vga kernel |
| 29 |
argument to set the size of the console. I believe there is some sort |
| 30 |
of kernel option (that you should be able to find with a minimum of |
| 31 |
searching) that sets the size of the buffer in bytes... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
From there, it is as easy as pressing shift-pgup and shift-pgdown to |
| 34 |
scroll through your buffer. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Hope this helps. |
