First of all I do NOT expect anyone to try and figure out why this isn't
working before the release of our Alpha 2!

But a large part of my i386 test suite is set up on this old hardware:

VIA C7 CPU @ 1500MHz
VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 Graphics [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01)
VIA VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 78)
1GB DDR2 RAM

The problem seems to be that recent changes to the kernel dropped
support for that hardware (I just can't boot to a working screen) so
I'll be unable to complete a lot of the tests I'd planned on.

We can look into the why and where for much later but please expect
decreased testing from me.

I'll certainly adjust to this prior to Beta 1 but there is simply not
sufficient time for me to rebuild a box ATM.
