I found that if I booted up 'linux-nonfb' that I no longer had this
problem. I had previously
disabled aurora to no effect. I went to /boot/GRUB/menu.lst and removed
'quiet vga=788'
which makes makes the 'linux' boot the same as the 'linux-nonfb'. I know
this has something
to do with the frame buffer but not real clear about it. Maybe somebody
could enlighten me.
