A level IV issue in 2.2.18-23. With frame buffer enabled, upon boot, the OS is displaying four penguin images instead of one penguin in the upper left corner of the screen. Looks rather tacky. Also puts the VGA
text mode default into mode 274. Is this what's supposed to happen?

Let me guess: it's a 4 cpu smp system?

Have you ever used a box with more than one processor? Looks like you have four processors on that box.

Cheers,
