No AGPGART during install

How do i turn off agpgart when doing a clean install of slackware? This may sound stupid, but is there a specific kernel i should select?

You could use append="noagp" in your lilo.conf, but why don't you want agp ?

hi there,

AFAIK in the default slackware install - kernel 2.4.XX - agpgart is a module.
you can take a look at

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.modules

and comment the line with this module.

edit. as you see ..... Cedrik types much faster !

i dont want agpgart cause the vid card isnt agp.. plus i cant boot into slack cause it hangs at agpgart during boot...

So just give kernel parameter noagp at prompt before boot, or edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules like
slackie1000 said, to do that mount your root partition from a Live CD.
