It looks as though vga initialization is failing.
The following is all that I could find in trying to
associate a chipset with (0xC0044="S3 86CM65 Video BIOS").
The associated chipset appears to be the Aurora64V+, which
basically is a Trio64V+ core, which in turn is an enhanced
Trio64 (www.faqs.org/faqs/pc-hardware-faq/video/chipsets/).
There are two vgadb controller entries for the trio64, one
with linear and one without. If you have already tried these
then I am out of ideas (and out of my league).
