Since it's quite much debugging info, I uploaded it to
http://bwalle.de/tmp/debugoutput-unmodified

Basically it's

  set VGA mode 12
  set VGA mode 3
  VBE mode info request: 100
  VBE mode info request: 101
  ...
  VBE mode info request: 6a
  set VGA mode 3
  VBE mode info request: 100

It doesn't change the result (that it doesn't work). It only makes the
kernel failing much faster and of course there's much more debugging
output: http://bwalle.de/tmp/debugoutput (250k).
