Same here. The machine works and I used an older Matrox Millenium-II
as graphics.

I'm aware, that stock kernel-packages work, even based on 2.4.x kernels.
In addition, you can compile and run your own 2.4.x kernels, as long as
you choose "generic" as arch-target.
I can't live sith stock-debian kernels, since I want some patches on that
machine. However, I *could* live with a "Generic" kernel, but I want to know,
why the "correct" arch-type doesn't work - and probably fix the problem.
Ultimately, I want Debina/testing on that machine, along with 2.6.0-test<x>.
