Hi Alan,
[1.] Matroxfb doesn't init a Matrox G450 DH correctly.
[2.] The console stays in VGA-Mode. If the VGA-console is not compiled
in, the screen is not updated after the "Ok, booting the kernel."
message. You won't see neither the kernel bootstraping nor any console
login, but working blind is possible. X11 works fine.
This is introduced with linux-2.4.21-rc3 and still in the final
linux-2.4.21. (I've tested 2.4.21-rc2 witch works.) So it may be a result
of
