After starting install in default graphics mode ( vs text ) the system locks up after screen has switched to the grey mottle on screen. This is before the cursor has shown or the switch to a plain colour background. It will also hang after doing an install in text mode right after testing the xserver configuration. The system does appear to correctly pick video card as a Verite 2xxx card. The hang can only be recovered by a hard reset ie cannot get any response from keyboard input Replacing the video card with a Cirrus logic GD543x and everything works fine. Booting Windows 98 / NT 4.0 / or installing Linux 6.0 works fine with the Diamond Stealth II S220 video card
You may want to update your card's bios. I found this on deja.com: In article <37e55062.52658935.com.au>, sunnyside16 (Sunni) writes: > I understand that there are problems with Linux and Diamond graphics > cards.

If so, how? I got it to work, after updating the flash bios on the card. Visit http://206.156.108.200/products/drivers/stealth2-s220.html
