I see it is fixed in latest git.

Now the i386 machine shows other issues, device drivers fail to
register, errno 38 (ENOSYS).  Huh?  Also Shift-PgUp doesn't work, which
makes me think it is an interrupt issue.  APCI-less box.  The x86_64
machine (with IO-APIC) is doing fine.

I can watch the cursor moving, just no characters appear on the screen.
 Maybe some I/O port access issue?  So the color palette is foobar and
it prints black on black?

My x86_64 machine is headless, so I can't comment on that ;)
