>Environment:
I can't boot in 2.2-BETA, 2.1.6 works fine though.

>Description:
2.1.6 works fine on my laptop. 2.2-ALPHA, 2.2-BETA crash just after
the kernel boot displays the last device (which is a disabled
apm0).  The top 3 lines of the display get messages up with the
crash happens and the machine is frozen.
system works fine with 2.1.6 abd a -current from about 9 months ago.
My system is a Chembook/Chicony 9750.  P5-133, 32MB with
C&T 65550 VGA controller driving 1024x768 LCD panel.
The crash happens if I install 2.2-BETA from scratch, or if I just run
a 2.2-BETA kernel under a 2.1.6 install.
>How-To-Repeat:
boot a 2.2-ALPHA, or 2.2-BETA kernel on my laptop.
