Does booting with 'linux nofb' help?

Comment 2 Chris Parks 2004-02-29 05:33:58 UTC

Same basic result.  One difference is the mouse cursor is an 
underscore now.  I also tried noprobe, skipddc, and mem=256M.  No 
dice on those either.

What hardware is it probing for next?

Comment 3 Chris Parks 2004-02-29 07:53:40 UTC

I think I got it. 'linux nofb nousb'.  Strange, there isn't a USB 
port anywhere.  Anywho thanks for getting me on the right track.
