I don't think that's anything to worry about … I've once seen what I had on 
screen before the last reboot, so I guess this is just random contents of video 
RAM being displayed before anything is drawn over them.

Re: IO APIC

Disabling IO APIC didn't help with the SMP kernel, it complains about lapic 
initialization before dropping to the debugger (is there a LAPIC loader 
tunable? I can't find any documentation on this or hw.apic_io_enable). Are SMP 
kernels on UP machines *supposed* to work anyway?
