Description Ed Porter 1999-03-16 17:06:34 UTC
During installation boot the video is crashing using the
onboard ATI video driver. This happens on the AST Manhatten
series as well as the AST Premier.

Adding a video card allowed the machines to boot and the
install to proceed.  This error does not appear to be
processor or memory dependant. It did not occor in the 5.2
installs.

From an AST Premier.

this smells like a kernel issue.  Where exactly is it crashing?
