I once had an old Pentium with onboard Trident graphics chipset that was incompatible with framebuffering. The screen went black at the precise moment you say.
Then it hangs at
Ramdisk at 0XFFF280000, size 0X000D8000 Uncompressing Linux... ok, booting the kernel
Searched the list archives. Suggestions from past messages were to try other kernels. I have tried ltsp_kernel-3.015, ltsp_kernel-3.0.10 and ltsp_kernel-3.0.5 without success.
Is the original Pentium CPU too old? Or is 32 MB of RAM too little? Other ideas?

The monitor stays visible. All we see is the message about "Umcompressing Linux...."
