How about kernel 2.4.x? At least for the installation.

You could pass some kernel-parameters while booting to use a better
video-mode. If the installer uses framebuffer you could use vga=XXX as
parameter. The values depend on the mode you chose.
You could try some of those:
resolution
color depth | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
256 (8bit)| 769 771 773 775
32000 (15bit)| 784 787 790 793
65000 (16bit)| 785 788 791 794
16.7 Mill.(24bit)| 786 789 792 795
Kind regards, Paul
