I know about it. Actually it is the only way to boot the f10. What is
really strange is that I have 2 boards (from the same vendor) and on
paper they are fully identical. Modeset works with one of them but not
with the other. I saw that the non working board is a newer revision
but this didn't help me much. Therefore I thought that if I manage to
dump the video bios of the board I can shed some light on the problem.
I saw people that don't experience this problem with this card but
there is still something worng with my RS485. I'll try booting with
radeon.gartsize=32 and see what happens.
