It might help if you explain a little about the hardware you are using - |
23 |
What system is it? Does it have on-board video or is it supplied via a |
24 |
PCI/AGP card (or both!)? If its a PCI card, what card is it? Are you |
25 |
using any kernel arguments wih the program you are booting with? I think |
26 |
you can type something like append video=0 or something to force the |
27 |
video to work. |

Hope with this extra info someone will be able to help! |
