Please subscribe to linux-arm-kernel as well. l-a-k is the correct forum for
these discussions now.

The "colorful pixels" is a known problem. Since there is no VRAM, my guess is
that the VIDC is fetching it's display from the first few pages of memory, which
is where the Linux kernel sits. This is therefore nothing to worry about. The
only thing I can think of getting aroud this problem is for !Linux to reprogram
the palette with black, ie, no video output until the kernel boots.
I know that you have been talking to me indirectly through Chris Rutter, and
obviously this email means that it seems to be unidirectional. ;( As a general
note, I don't like talking through people; mistakes happen. It's better to
get first-hand info.
What I suggest is hooking up another machine to the serial port, and applying
the suggestion I made on l-a-k this month. (Search for CONFIG_DEBUG_LL).
