Samsung SyncMaster 930b or i586 i686


Hi, I've posted this in the Mandriva section, but no luck. I think I'm better off with this in hardware.

Ok,
Some months ago I was given a Dell GX150 933Mhz. I bought a Samsung SyncMaster 930B and a Maxtor drive, istalled all on Mandriva 2006 - all good. Now I've been given a Dell GX260 2.4 Ghz. I switched over the HD and booted up. I'm having monitor problems - it boots into 800x600 mode. This is the error message I receive when I try to switch to another resolution:

(EE) 1810(0): No video BIOS modes for chosen depth
(EE) Screen found; but none have a useable configuration

I also get this message on boot:

2006 for i586
Kernel 2.6.12 - 12mdk on an i686 / tty1

Because I've gone from a Pentium III to IV, do I need to reinstall 2006?

Thanks for the help.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
