hey

after pressing enter in boot prompt, i get what i beleive to read (not quite sure as it goes very quick):

loading linux.............
minirt.gz..............

then the screen goes blank, and nothing happens



i tried changing vsync and hsync, along with screen res, but neither worked

i tried failsafe and it came up as far as the desktop, however the mouse and keyboard didnt work



the computer i'm trying to put it on is a HP pavillion a610.uk, however it had RAM upgraded (to 512mb) and a graphics card put in (an ATI radeon one, not sure which, as it wasnt my pc)

any more info required and i can find out

thanks in advance


edit: it's version 5.1.1 on CD btw
