Damn, I was hoping that this would solve the internal video problem.
I'm still optimistic, could you try it without "el card?"

When, you say "no floating point" do you mean it gets to the fsck
prompt and says "Illegal Trap" or "Floating Point Exception?"
Because, I don't think there is any floating point stuff needed
until AFTER we clear the screen.  Do you get any grey bars on the
duo?  (Where grey bars turned on? :-) chuckle )
