Crash on install

Hi,

I am trying to install arch on a relatively old laptop, Dell D610, and am facing a stack on install. As I have the notorious Intel 915 video chipset I had to specify kernel param video=SVIDEO-1:d or video=VGA-1:e as I am using an external monitor. I predictably get the following stack:

Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

To my untrained kernel eye it appears to be am issue with KMS attempting to detect video mode using the intel 915 driver, does anyone agree or shed any more light on a workaround? My hope was setting the kernel param video would avoid KMS detection but I may well be using it incorrectly.

Any advice is much appreciated; Thanks,
