Well, I dug up an ancient ATI card and installed it with similar results
as when using my GForce 8600 card. For some reason X refuses to start.
I have attached my FILO Config file, my LinuxBIOS2 Config.lb file, the
boot output from the serial port, and the Xorg log.
Also, two observations:
1. I tried to use a 20 year old dumb terminal (NABU 4503) to monitor
serial output. The terminal could only handle a maximum of 19200 baud
which was too slow for LinuxBIOS output stream - all characters were
garbled. Once FILO took over the output was readable. Anyway I scrapped
the terminal and now use a PC with minicom at 115200 baud.
2. Kernel loading is slow but initrd loading is very, very, slow.
