Please can you send me the patch ?
This is problematic...my version is probably way out of date. Here are my original posts though: http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2003-July/004061.html
I vaguely remember sending a small tarball but I think that was to Andrew directly.
The stuff in the above link doesn't have the VGA bios crash fix I came up with. It seems like no one else had any trouble with it crashing though. I can dig that up if necessary.
I'll try to get a complete diff of my tree against the snapshot I started with...maybe that will be most helpful.
