I see. I can make another one quickly with FPU_EMULATE plus the same
patch to cacheops. The fix for wscons is already in current and
1.6_BETA1 (and so should be in all the latest snapshots). Since Brian

maybe not. Brian, does that mean you got "intvid0", or just that it
printed the boot messages ?
