 Have you tried 2.2-RELEASE? 
 
 If it doesn't work, would you try specifying the flag 0x01 to the
 `npx0' device and see how it fares?
 
 There have been many indications that the Pentium-optimized bcopy()
 routine in the kernel doesn't work when used to update display by the
 `syscons' device driver. There are reports that disabling the
 optimized bcopy() by specifying the above flag bit solved problems
 like yours.
 
 # Don't ask me why flag bits for the `npx0' device are used to control
 # Pentium optimized code.
 
 Hope this might help.
