    ive seen some posts here that describe install and config of debian 3.0r1. ive found the websites of david260179 and downloaded the kernel and debian-ati.patched-installer, but i cant start the installation, my monitor shows nothing.

    i think i need an additional parameter to start the install (video=XXX). unfortunaly this link at the website http://uk.geocities.com/david260179 is dead.

    what video-parameter do i have to use?

    mmm, im the maintainer of the website, seems ok to me, click refresh on your web browser.(i dont care for internet explorer,so it might come out weird,sorry) 8-)

    video=radeon
    so example,
    zimage.chrp root=/dev/hda3 video=radeon hdc=ide-scsi
