I have seen something like this before with the eboxit. ZTry this: F1 at splash screen linux mem=53M at the input prompt, or if you have 128M of memory then linux mem=117M It appears that this has shared video memory and ther BIOS may be handing the linux kernel a bad memory map so that the screen writing is overwriting the kernel stack.
