I'm having trouble understanding why framebuffer and the disc
subsystem are close enough in the kernel that enabling a framebuffer
mode causes edd to fail.
EDD was working on its own, and presumably framebuffer=791 works on its own?
Why is the interaction between these two things causing new problems?
