A quick follow up.  After the post runs you're left looking at the Video Post 
message.

Hit enter and you get your prompt back, or just switch to the VT with X and 
compute away.

If anyone working on ACPI wants information from my boxen (DSTD etc.) shoot 
the list, or me and email and I'll do whatever I can to help improve ACPI on 
Dell's borked implementation...

Thanks for all your hard work!  It's greatly appreciated.
