   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> have you tryed booting vesa fb0 ?   
      
   Not since the Paleolithic.  Besides that requires a 4:3 monitor which I   
   currently lack.   
      
    BP> if that works its just missing firmware or unsupported uhd in   
    BP> kernel   
      
   So far I am up to a bootable 5.13.1 kernel and it still doesn't even try to   
   display penguins.  :-/   
      
    BP> loadlin.exe gentoo with msdos-splash

    BP> linux, shameless   
      
   There was also a win95 version of it (desktop icon) that when you double   
   clicked on it, it would shut down win95 and fire up a linux partition without   
   a reboot.   
      
   Shameless for sure.   
      
   Life is good,
