I somewhat expected that, and I'm afraid this problem will appear  
with all video cards.  I see that Linux has code to handle the

Bleh, that was due to a bug in the match routine of valkyriefb: it  
assumed it could always attach!  Should be fixed now.  Could you  
redownload the kernel and try again please?
