Re: Woody on Compaq Armada 1750?

[Thomas Girard <nouvelles.fraiches@free.fr>]

Hello,
yes you can. I experienced the same problem. You have to pass the 
video=vga16:off option when booting the kernel you choose. That is, 
after the welcome message of the installation program, type either "bf24 
video=vga16:off" or "idepci video=vga16:off" if you prefer to use a 
2.2.20 kernel.

Hope this will work for you,
Thomas.
