Yes, yes.  The boot messages are normal, and typing 'reset' once I login 
restores normal console.  The code that sets up a scrolling window below tux
is well, missing the mark.

Tux looks like he's about 5 lines high, so lines 1-3 are tux, 4 is the one
line of scroll, 5 is his feet, and 6-30 is the previous kernel boot
messages.
