Unfortunately, it's missing the earliest messages.  I'm especially curious if 
your machine claims to have an ELCR, which would be output to a serial 
console very early on.  I'll commit the current workaround for your mptable 
and work up a patch to use the ELCR if it exists for ISA busses, not just 
EISA, maybe that will help.
