fair enough.  and as soon as one completed the hardware, and shipped
it, one would find that it was buggy and be unable to patch it, as it
was in hardware :)

I'm still having the same two problems after pulling geoff's updates:

in vmware ( fusion ) i get the "aux/vga: vgactlw: <linear 0x3e80000
0x0>: unknown vmware id 0740

error, and on my physical machine, my sata disks are still not showing
up

... even though all of these things work during installation from the
cd. ( i'm using a cd from a couple of days ago )
