what kind of video card do you have?

maybe try:

and see if it boots.

One thing you might want to look at, is to disable pnp in the bios. On one of my old boxes I had the same problem until I disabled the pnp.

Hope that helps,

Try knoppix noddc to stop auto detection of monitor it causes problems with some.
