What is being probed right after fdc0 in your kernel? I've only seen flashes while the graphics console driver(s) touch the adapter. (The flash while probing syscons seems to last a little longer than that for pcvt.) The second flash is perhaps from loading a font down to the VGA? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
