Well, for whatever reason, not being able to read the BIOS will cause
a LOT of problems. I assume these error messages don't appear when the
card is configured for CRT output?
I'd love to look further into this, as we have seen such problems on
our AGP boxes, but the best I can do is UP1100, and its BIOS emulator
cannot handle any Radeons, AFAICT... :-(

I haven't used 4.2.1 or 4.3.0 much at all yet; do they force one to
add that option by defaulting to the DVI connector?
