Ah! you didn't tell me you were still using internal video! This might
very well be the problem.  _Remove_ the monitor on internal video and make
the external one your booting console.  If this works, you can try
reattaching the monitor on internal video, but you'll probably have to
retain the external monitor as the booting console.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
