Huh.

As a point of info, I have (had) this problem as well.

I have an a3000 w/ a (now non-functioning) 4091 card. If I 'reboot', I 
get the yellow screen-of-exception. A three finger salute fixes the problem,
but it happens every time.

This was with 1.2 release, a 4091 + hydra ethernet + 18mb RAM + latest chip
sets. 

Don't ask me about the machine now, I've got a different set of problems that
are keeping the machine from running. *sigh*
