It shows up on the new NVidia cards though, as well as the new ATI cards.  My
working theory is these cards have more memory than the older ones do, which is
what confuses things.  Either the kernel framebuffer code doesn't handle this
memory properly (and needs to be updated), or the bios/card is reporting the
wrong amount of memory to Linux.  I can install with an old Gforce 2 card (32M
of ram), but not with a new Gforce 4 Ti4200 (128M of ram).

Looked at from that point of view, how much memory do all of the problematic
cards have?

Will the framebuffer code in the 2.6 kernel (2.5.XX right now), which I believe
has been updated, handle it properly?

Trying to load the installer kernel after isolinux loads hangs the machine with
flashing caps/scroll lock LEDs. Is highmem enabled in the installer kernel? I
will try to remove a DIMM and see what happens.
