Hi,
I have been using Linux since .12 and have had no problems with my
monitor until .98. I went and got the bootimage-.98 from tsx, ftp'ed
it to my PC (in bin mode), uncompressed it, used rawrite to put it
on a floppy. Now when I boot from the floppy it runs thur the "Loading..."
line ok but as soon as it starts to print out the boot up stuff, the screen
loses it. I tried it on another machine and it seemed to work ok. That
machine had a VGA monitor. I noticed that it did not prompt for the screen
type (the 00 01 02....) on the VGA machine. It also fails when I use my
bootlin setup.
What can be done to help this?
My machine is a CompuAdd 325 w/4M memory
SVGA monitor (SAMTRON) w/512k memory on video board
(I have been running X with no problems with .97*.)
Thanks
Steve Perry
