I downloaded the advanceCD stuff and added a few ROMs and built and burned the ISO according to instructions.
When I boot from it I can see the linux loader starting, then a screenfull of messages scrolls by real fast (probably linux kernel messages) then the screen goes blank and my NUMLOCK and CAPSLOCK LEDs start blinking, and blinking, and blinking.... and nothing else seems to happen.
I tried ALT-F2, CTRL-ALT-F2 to bring up a different console but nothing happened.
I'm a running on a run-of-the-mill ADI CRT with a PCI All-In-Wonder Pro (ATI rage Pro chipset).
