Hi!

After a bunch of "edit configfile, run config, make, install, reboot, repeat"
cycles I finally narrowed down a problem.

Take a GENERIC config file, add ``option "VM86"'' and config, make, install.
Reboot. Works fine. Add ``option VESA'' too. Repeat. Boots and crashes what
looks like just before starting the rc scripts. "Page not present" panic.

It says in LINT to not use VESA with SMP. But I have a UP Pentium.
Facts, if it makes any difference, this is what it has:
64MBmemory , 8MB WinFast 2300 gfxcard, Aw37 sndcard, ncr810 (I think it was).
Current as of Nov 1.

Is this a know problem?
I can provide more info... it's 100% repeatable, and I can crash it into
the debugger if needed, and give dumps, or whatever. But I can't cut'n'paste
there, so I'll avaoid that if it's not needed, Just ask and I'll hand copy it.

 /Mikael
