Hi !
I have a problem. Linux bootimage-0.97 won't boot for me. I insert it and
it starts to load but after awhile I get prompted:

  Hit <RETURN> to see SVGA-modes available or any other key to continue.

Well if I hit <RET>, it prints Mode: COLSxROWS and hangs. And if I hit any 
other key the machine just hangs. (With -hangs- I mean that the only thing it
will respond to is the three-finger-salute or the programmers button :-)

Now I wonder is the problem with:
a) Linux (I don't think so)
b) The ET4000 graphics board 
c) Me

Any clues out there ?

The machine I'm using is 486 w/4MB mem 130MB hd and said ET4000
