Re: Can't get Kernel and intrid to start sarge installer
Eric,
Looking carefully at the referenced web page, I see that it mentions the TwinTurbo graphics card.
so, I'd guess your kernel boot options should be something like this:
video=imsttfb:vmode:13,cmode:16
You may have to play around with various "vmode" and "cmode" values.
Hope that helps,
Rick
