FWIW,, I'm currently using an unsupported-because-its-too-new video
card to make the machine almost useable. The genfb attributes have
a poor aspect ratio, and everything is too large, but at least it's
not crashing or hanging. :) Hopefully, the new Radeon display card
I ordered will be useable.

Well, I just built me a new toy and it mostly works just fine. But
there are some mostly display-related strangenesses...
The entire dmesg for the new build is attaached. dmesg for the old
machine is not available since I had to cannabilize some parts. As
a summary, the new build is a amd64 `` AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D'' with
128GB of DDR5 on an Asus ROG Crosshair Hero motherboard
1. Using the same video card as from the original machine (identified
``NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti''), a normal boot fails to complete
s/1050/1080/
the initial mode-set that occurs during auto-config. The bottom
25% or so of the screen is broken up into 4 sets of "garbage"
(looks like bar code, but not really), and blind typing results in
scrolling of the 25% section, 1 set at a time. After about 10 or
15 minutes, it suddenly starts working and displays the usual xdm
login dialog!
2. Things will go along nicely for (some value of) a while, and then
suddenly switching to the console (via ctrl-alt-f1) hangs. This,
too, eventually unhangs
3. There's a dwiic0 attached via acpi, and an iic0 attached to the
dwiic0. The attach seems to succeed, but approximately 17 seconds
later, immediately after a USB4 HCI fails to attach, I start to
get a flurry of
dwiic0: timed out waiting for rx_full intr
dwiic0: timed out reading remaining 0
The messages always come in pairs, and there is roughly a 0.5sec
interval between pairs. In total, there are about 150 pairs, then
the messages just stop.
4. There are lots of nouveau0 errors, and they seem to correspond to
mode-switch attempts:
