Compact install fails on my hardware
Hi,
SYMPTOM: booting (compact) rescue disk works to boot prompt.
Pressing return, the next screen is displayed but
loses sync, nothing readable.
My HARDWARE: (collection of orphaned equip from other machines)
Video: PCI - Mirage Illusionist 3D card - 32MB (Fixed Freq)
Motherboard: EPoX EP-MVP3G2 (ATX) VIA MVP3 AGP chipset
CPU: AMD K6-2/500Mhz
RAM: 192 MB
Drives: (on both channels of IDE) 20GB Maxtor, Creative 24x CD-ROM
Floppy: 3.5 on /dev/fd0
Network card
Soundblaster audio card
ISA card with SCSI and single HP CD-writer attached
Is there a way to force VGA display? (I see mono in help, but
not resolution.) 'Course I'm only guessing this would help...
I'm heading off to find more on video card from vendor and
review debian install notes on web.
Any help appreciated!
NOTE: I'm setting this up dual-boot, win98se is running great
on machine, already. (no disparaging comments, please ;-)
Regards,
Stephen
