After loading what? Loading linux or loading something else? (Has the blue background of the loader come up yet)? Or after "Loading anaconda"?
Loading vmlinuz....... Some other line, to fast....... After this it creates a new screen that is garbled, I can see that something if scolling down the screen, just cant read it. If I boot with "linux text" then after some time I can make the outlines of a usual question box, just cant read a single letter.
If you also boot with the option "nofb" does this help ?
Using both DVD and CD's to boot from I get the same behavior. Tried linux text , linux nofb , linux resolution=800x600 and everything else I see in the help screens of F2, F3, F4 after the PC boots from the DVD/CD. I can see a difference, like when I use linux nofb the pattern of the scrambled data I see is different, because it is ofcause displaying different things, but I can only make out few lines, never read any text.
I get exactly the same problem on my test system: AMD K6-2 450 320MB RAM Epox MVP4A MB with integrated Trident Blade 3D graphics controller Samsung SyncMaster 753DFX monitor
