Hmmm. I boot i2000s at least once a month to make sure Linux still
works with the latest kernels. But I use the BigSur defconfig, not
the generic one the distros use (note to self: try with a generic
kernel).
I strongly suggest trying to boot using a serial console. The video
stuff has been pretty flakey at various times.
