Hi Andrew, Jurriaan, Antonino,

So my guess is that Jurriaan's graphics adapter is supported by the
savagefb driver, but the driver doesn't create an i2c bus for it
(either because the hardware doesn't have it, or we simply have no
support.) Jurriaan, please confirm that your adapter is not one of
Savage4, Savage2000, ProSavagePM, ProSavage8.

lspci calls it 'S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (rev 05)' 

If my analysis is correct, the following patch should fix the problem.
It can probably be optimized/cleaned up, but I'll leave that to
Antonino. Jurriaan, can you please apply this patch on top of
2.6.18-rc6-mm1 and report success or failure?

This patch fixes my problems, rc6-mm1 boots without problems even with
the savagefb driver builtin.

Thanks,
Jurriaan
