Sounds like a problem due that. Second i believe is the framebuffer. Try passing vga=ask in the kernel parameters (eg lilo in your case, grub in all other's case).Modify your lilo.conf, rerun lilo. If that doesn't work, start a live! cd system (eg knoppix or gentoo). Chroot to your installed system, download the kernel source wget ftp.kernel.org/2.6/2.6.7.tar.gz or something, untar it and compile a new kernel without framebuffer support. Or make you compile in your graphich driver somewhere. Which graphich border is it? Still, i am only guessing. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ .
