Here is a small problem I have with Release 2.1 (from Walnut Creek).
During the boot process, if I allow to probe for the serial channels com1 and
com2 (iso0 and iso1), then my video dies (an Asus card pci-vt241, Mach64
based).
If I disable the probing by the -c switch and 'disable iso0', then all is fine.
It is only the video that dies, the boot process finishes normally. I don't
see anything on screen but I can login and ask for a reboot and if I
don't probe the iso0 then everything works fine ???
I am at a loss to see a connection between probing the serial channel
and my video card.
If it means anything, this machine is a PCI pentium with 16 Meg. The video
card has 2 Meg and a Mach64 chip.
