I'm trying to install Arch on a Satellite 1625CDT, and when I go to run the installer, it reboots immediately after loading the kernel. When I boot PHLAK, Mepis, etc, I get an error:
invalid mode specified
with the option of fixing it. I don't know anything about this. Can I specify a framebuffer mode in the installer? Does anyone know what I should specify? Here's an info page on a similar model. The graphics card might be an ATI Rage LT Pro?
Thanks!
fffft!

i think the amd k6 is not i686
so the arch kernel would not boot
try knoppix... it is i484 compatible

that's from the "vga=XXXX" in your kernel parameters... check either menu.lst/lilo.conf and remove that param....

Dammit! Just when I think I'm all cool and have an Arch linux laptop. I think you're right.
