Laptops :: Compaq Armada 110

I have a Compaq Armada 110 Laptop -- Intel Coppermine Celeron....

Sometimes when i boot DSL, the screen goes blank just after the "Uncompressing Linux....." message..... i think its not detecting my laptop's screen refresh rate correctly....

This happens only sometimes..... other times, it seems to work fine.... its not the problem with fb800x600 ... i tried all kinds of things... i am not new to linux so i tried all kinds of scripts and kernel parameters before posting this .....

Please help !!! .....

Regds,
Abhi.
