Broken in base 2.6.17-rc1 too :-(  VGA comes up and prints a
few messages, and then goes wonky and dies.  Comparing
what I _think_ I saw with the dmesg output, it appears to
die here:

[    6.416740] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 48
[    6.708439] e1000: 0000:01:00.0: e1000_probe: (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 00:03:47:fd:bb:42
[    6.754439] e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection

    DEAD DEAD DEAD

Should have gone on to say:
[    6.781924] ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
[    6.790052] ICH4: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:1f.1

[    6.808403] ICH4: BIOS configuration fixed.
[    6.812646] ICH4: chipset revision 1
[    6.816271] ICH4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later


But I might be off by a line or two, the last bit flashed by quite quickly.

I'll start bisecting tomorrow to see when it was broken.
