Ah! It looks like this is not a constant, but a common failure mode among android-based devices! In dmesg: ``` Warning: unable to open an initial console. ``` Simply removing the `console=` fixes the console. See f295dc1 for a similar instance of the issue.

4. type: bug
The patches added here are required to build under some conditions, but not all are ended up needed as CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is required to be active otherwise the kernel doesn't even boot :/ The kernel size was reduced by: * Removing tracing support * Removing unneeded exfat and sdcardfs filesystems * Removing all sound support * Removing video input (camera) support The latter options seem awfully shortsighted, until you remember that a goal is to eventually deal with booting our own kernels through kexec. The Moto Z Play device's boot partition size is putting us in a hard spot.

Before today, all tests were done using
fastboot boot.Turns out
motorola-addisonhas an extremely diminutive boot partition size of only 16MiB.Our fat ~20MiB initrd+kernel build couldn't be fastboot flashed!
This now, at least, gives us the maximum size a minimal featured tertiary bootloader has to respect.
Fixups:
console=broke udev!With this PR, the device is seemingly working just as well as other Qualcomm devices.
