It's now been almost two weeks since I wrote this email, and noone has
said anything that could help me out here.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

The problem with booting has been fixed, but not the monitor problem.

As I don't have an arm32 installation up and running, and not even a
cross-compiler, it would be nice if someone could try to make me a
kernel that could work on my monitors.

This would make me able to test whether the SCSI support works for me or
not.

TIA!
