- Well, it is still there. If I build a kernel with a pre-selected
- text mode the keyboard locks up. This does not happen if I make
- SVGA_MODE empty in the top level Makefile. It then asks which mode
- I want and everything is normal.
-
- I heard that the bug was in boot/setup.S but linux-0.99.patch1 didn't
- contain a patch for that file.

- Merry Christmas
