axle: unhandled IRQ 39 + graphics failure on real hardware

Are you at all interested in usage reports from real hardware at this point? If so I can debug this farther.

I Booted on ISO in real hardware just for kicks, and got successfully to he shell, but “unhandled IRQ 39” scrolls across screen except when modifier key is held down, and startx and other graphics commands give a general protection fault and reboot the machine.

If you’re interested in knowing what’s failing, the obvious next step would be for me check whether disconnecting expansion cards or changing BIOS settings changes the behavior

Hardware: CPU: Early x86-64 (AMD, single core I think) Motherboard: GeForce6100SM-M or similar with both PCI and PCIe BIOS: Phoenix - Award WorkstationBIOS v6.00 Video BIOS: 982B GeForce 8400GS VGA BIOS 2725 Version 62.98.29.00.00 Memory: 4GB Disks: 1m: IDE DVD, 1s: HDD, 3m: SATA HDD 4m: SATA DVD, fdd0: 1.44M Keyboard and mouse: PS/2. Expansion cards: PCI Soundcard; PCI wi-fi card; PCIe eSATA card Motherboard: USB, serial, parallel, LAN, sound. and disabled video on motherboard.

(and then in a few seconds the machine resets)
