Terje, try this one when lilo comes up push the escape key. Now boot linux 3 this will boot you into runlevel 3. If this doesn't work do a normal boot but don't login. The do a ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a term window and login as root then type # telinit 3 then you will want to vi /etc/lilo.conf and look for a line like this vga=788 or vga=791 .... change it to vga=normal save and then at the command prompt type lilo (to reset lilo for your changes.) this will allow you to boot normal not using frame buffer (fb0 is frame buffer) reboot the computer and you should notice a "normal" bootup and the fb0 problem should be gone. What it seems is that the frame buffer resolution is not the correct one for what your box can do. 788 is 800x600 791 is 1024x768 and the rest I don't know.
