Not that I've seen.

You've definitely isolated it to this changeset ?

The symptoms you describe are very odd and don't seem to correspond
meaningfully to anything in the changeset.  The changeset does two
things:

 * Removes a memset to 0xff of the VGA screen memory.
 * Moves forward vga_bios_init which just initialises a bunch
   of the cirrus_vga registers, to put it before graphic_console_init.

Ian.
