Yes, exactly.

I have applied the latest G-Rex firmware 44.71 with OpenPCI support.
And yes, some pixels were missing. Readjusted the TFT and now everything looks 
okay.
How can I save the dmesg from inside the debugger? Then I can provide you the 
output.

Okay, here the output of the newpciscan tool with all 3 PCI cards inserted:

cybpci.library 2.2

However I made further progress:
- removing the Permedia2 results in a trap after the ne2 driver prints it init 
message
- removing the Realtek (leaving only the Voodoo 4) results in a clean boot and 
install is possible.
