I have a compaq armada e 500 running very fine, but I guess you might have a problem with the framebuffer console (that is the driver, displaying the penguin in the upper left corner, when you boot). Try booting with the parameter vga=normal or vga=791, and see if it solves your problem. If it does, add it to your /etc/lilo.conf (or what boot loader you are using), and run /sbin/lilo.
