1. While booting things look normal
until the lovely little Tux logo appears,
then no more console messages are written to the screen.
The box still boots, however.
Turned off logo, same thing: as soon as it switches
to the FB no more boot messages appear.
2. Turned off Frame Buffer Console support and got errors.
It looks like there is a dependency that gconfig does not know about.
The errors were:

make[3]: *** [drivers/video/fbmem.o] Error 1
Turned Frame Buffer Console support on, and also built in fonts
8x8 and 8x16, and got the usual result: No console messages after
switch to FB. (This is the config included below)
3. Without the mga patch, no FB, no logo, and no X.
Just curious, why isn't the mga patch suitable for mainline?
