Try - 1600x1024. Drop the 60. Or even - 1280x768.
The vesa-tng sets up my FB at 1600x1024 when I give it 1280x768
during boot.
I'm guessing the problem is that 1680x1050 is not a normal resolution,

Just use the PIII. It works. Add sse, mmx, and sse2 to your USE
flags. I usually wait until after I've finished stage 1 to do this.

Yes. There is too little combined memory. Things like gcc, glibc, and

The descriptions of the crashes/hangs lead me to suspect the power supply.
Athlons (and now P4s) coupled with Nvidia cards draw huge instaneous currents
off the 3.3 V line. The typical power supply c
