Yup - things seem to be working. Just have a bunch of new console messages.

It seems that at least some of them are valid - the BIOS isn't describing some
things that it should.  I don't think we need to re-apply code that
used to paper
over this problem. I can just add these to the list of "harmless" messages to
ignore when running new kernels on this old machine.

Or did I misunderstand some part of this thread?
