I've dug through the /var/log/messages, and the system
did continue booting in the video=aty128fb cases. In all cases
I'm seeing the following messages:

2.4.3-pre[12]

  kernel: PCI: Enabling device 00:10.0 (0086 -> 0087)
  kernel: aty128fb: Rage Mobility M3 (AGP) [chip rev 0x0] 8M 128-bit SDR SGRAM (1:1)
  kernel: Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30
  kernel: Registered "ati" backlight controller, level: 10/15
  kernel: fb0: ATY Rage128 frame buffer device on PCI

With video=ofonly

The earlier PCI probe messages in all 2.4.* cases are:

  kernel: PCI: Probing PCI hardware
  kernel: Fixup IO res, dev: 0.10, res_start: 400->802400
  kernel: Can't get bus-range for /pci@f2000000/cardbus@1a

  kernel: PCI:1:17:0: Resource 80000000-8007ffff (f=200)
  kernel: PCI:1:1a:0: Resource 80080000-80080fff (f=200)

  kernel: PCI:6:e:0: Resource f5000000-f5000fff (f=200)

Is the current fb driver getting confused by the dual
framebuffers in the OF tree?
