vesafb & interference problem

8 Jul 2002

      SuSE 8.0 default install, When SuSE starts installing
everytime the hard drive or cdrom is read there is
"interference" (lines accross screen) and it's not
a hardware problem, a default install of redhat 7.3,
mandrake 8.2 or any windows it's just fine.
Now i've seen that in redhat the console is just
normal low-res text, so I looked at vga=whatever
in lilo.conf, no joy. just after the vesafb load
during bootup the "interference" starts.
it must be a problem with the way suse specifically
has installed or is configured by the installer.
(hardware btw is Asus MB onboard VGA, MAG screen,
AMD 1000 cpu)

anyone have any ideas ?
