I think these mentioned needing to disable some of the kernel flags

Both links are the same URL. I read the one. I changed the
settings to match what the dev posted. I had some set correctly
already but changed a couple. We'll see. I may change the other
settings below as well then build and reboot if you think it will help.
I went ahead and disabled those and when I was building the kernel, I
got a LOT of things like this.

It would appear that disabling drm might not be a good idea. It
didn't finish building the kernel either. It just stopped.
I'm going to turn drm back on. See if it will build then.

Update. None of this worked. Everything I disabled resulted in a
failed kernel make. I had to go back to the original config. It
appears the things I have enabled must be enabled for the kernel to
finish the make process.
I'm going to try to reboot in a bit. Supposed to be storms here
shortly and power may fail and I'll have to shutdown anyway. The
storms look kinda ugly on the radar. o_O
Any more ideas? Maybe the re-emerge of nvidia-drivers will work. One
can hope.

OK. I didn't lose power during the storm but I have rebooted. The
updated nvidia drivers is in use now. Still no console. I have no idea
where to go next. Changing options in the kernel, which has worked for
many months, results in a failed make due to missing kernel drivers.
Changing nvidia drivers didn't help either.
I checked the inittab file to see if anything got changed but it looks
like it always has. Of course, since I could login blindly and reboot,
we know agetty is being spawned like normal. I might add, during the
boot up, the usual kernel lines and services starting was scrolling up
the screen. The best I can figure, once the GUI starts, it can't switch
back to a console.
Anybody have other ideas?
Thanks.
Dale
