Subj : BIOS data check successful...?

Hello, I've just installed Mandrake Linux 10.0 without problems. But after I
restart the computer choose "Linux" in the LILO menu, I'm presented with the
following:

Loading Linux...........
BIOS data check successful

whereafter the computer just locks and I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart it.
I've already looked around on the web, and it seems that others who
experienced the same problem were advised to change a certain
"arch/i386/boot/video.S" file (a CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT in the file..) , but
being a novice I don't know how to access this file (apparently on the Linux
partition) since I can't boot from the hard drive.

Is that the way to go and/or could someone please help me out here.. I'm
using a 3Dfx Voodoo graphics card if that can be of any help... I'm also
running Windows 2000 on another partition which is running just fine..

Thanks for any advice!
