Interesting. Is it possible to change the IRQ to something useful in UKC?

The boot log seems to crap out at a certain point and starts from the top, 
overwriting the first twenty odd lines at a horizontal offset.

Precisely between 'vgafb0 at pci0' and 'wsdisplay0 at vgafb0'. But could be a 
wsdisplay issue that could be fixed with some kernel setting. 

Hope I'm not cluttering misc with this issue
