It works on amd64 for me too, so it's an ia32 issue.
If I sent you an ia32 coredump, would that be of any help to you?

That would imply that the HelenOS kernel is somewhat unreal, which
is not easily possible since it can drive real UltraSPARC machines :-)
(And yes, on a real machine, it doesn't end with the "Booting the
kernel..." message).

A simple unaccelerated framebuffer support is not a big deal, all we
need is an address, width, height and color depth and maybe a heads
up if the device is weird (such as the Creator 3D).
