My menu.1st file had "vga=0x31a", which is not one you mentioned. So I tried what you gave me above, 0x317. That works just fine for me.
normal also worked, but 0x0317 is higher resolution and is much more pleasant for the install...
I had no luck finding detailed info for the what the options meant so that I could pick my own. But your 0x0317 got me where I needed to be!!
Thank you so much!

Somewhere in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20.SuSE/Documentation there is a file that describes this. vga= basically selects the vga console mode. I think yours might have been set too high for your monitor. You can also try vga=ask to see what's available. I think the 0x317 ect. are not standard ones, i.e. added by SuSE or the framebuffer package. H
