I don't recall if the debian install uses the framebuffer or not but that sounds like what the problem is. Try appending video=3Dvesa:off and/or video=3Dvga16:off to the boot line. Or perhaps vga=3Dask and try the different modes. E.g. LILO: linux video=3Dvesa:off Replace 'linux' with whatever boot name is appropriate (I think F1 will give you a list at the boot screen, or press <TAB>) * Michael R.
