Can you try removing the graphics card completely and using a serial
console for testing?

If somebody wants to help integrating milo code into OpenBIOS so it can
be used as a bootloader, please contact me. 
Also, if somebody can find the time to continue development on milo,
drop me a note, too. It might be a good idea to start up with milo
2.0.35, remove all direct linking against the kernel and use a reduced
kernel image that is used by milo. LinuxBIOS does the same thing,
basically, and it showed to reduce complexity by means.
