You need to attach the full serial console. Here are some
links to help you get that information:

Which talks about not doing 3D rendering. That is expected
on ATI ES1000 which can't do 3D rendering. It can only do 2D.

But that is not the problem you are describing? In your case the machine
crashes, right?

crashes.. In what way? What do you see on the screen? What is in your
serial console? Is the machine still running? Can you SSH in it?
