Installation Boot Problems
Hello,
I am trying to install Slackware 9.0 on my Gateway computer. I put the CD in and boot from it. About five seconds after boot, I get a screen full of rolling text looking something like this..
[<000039a>][<000039a>][<000039a>][<000039a>][<000039a>][<000039a>]
There are six columns, and the first few numbers are always zeroes, but the latter characters change rapidly. I think I saw something about VGA error on boot, but I might have read wrong as it only appears for an instant. Any idea what the problem is? Thanks in advance.
