Hi Wilko,

I have at home a PWS 433au (MX5 motherboard) with TGA2 graphic
card and I have the same problem with BETA1 (fatal kernel trap while tring
to initialize the tga0 device).

I have tested also on AlphaPC64 (via serial console but with S3 Virge
DX/GX video card  installed): the fatal kernel trap occurs again.
On the AlphaPC 64 the serial console is running very slowly after booting
the kernel (maybe 300bps insetad of 9600)!
sc0: <System console> on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0>

fatal kernel trap:

    trap entry     = 0x3 (instruction fault)
    cpuid          = 0
    fault type     = gentrap
    pc             = 0xfffffc0000735b64
    ra             = 0xfffffc000070df5c
    sp             = 0xfffffc0000e09b10
    usp            = 0x0
    curthread      = 0xfffffc00008c5cc8
        pid = 0, comm = swapper

On AXPpci33 it dies while testing sym0. Before this sym0 reports:
sym0: <810> port 0x10100-0x101ff mem 0x81854100-0x818541ff at device 6.0 on pci0
