    I'm having a problem installing FC4 on a machine with an "Integrated
    VIA UniChrome AGP Graphics with MPEG-2 Accelerator" graphics adapter.

    I start up with "linux text" to enter text-mode installation, the
    kernel starts and I see information about the hardware, and then just
    after /sbin/loader loads, the screen changes video mode into something
    that is all garbled. When the text installer starts, I can make out
    the colours, but cannot read any text as it is shaking and garbled.
    I've also tried booting up with vga=ask passed the kernel, picking a
    standard 80x25 vga mode.

    Is there any way to have /sbin/loader NOT switch video modes? If it
    would just stay in the same mode as when the kernel starts up, I'd be
    fine.

    Thanks,

    Patrick
