Might be my issue as well. I've got an old AMD K6-III/450 system with
two floppy drives. When booting 3.2-rc2 (didn't try "-rc1"), the system
switches video modes (VESA FB console), and then hangs/panics. No
further info available because the panic happens too early for syslog to
record it, and the console goes blank at the time of the mode switch:
there's nothing on the screen I might transcribe manually. 3.1-final
works fine.
