Are you sure you have the right Graphic Card selected. On my Toshiba
Satrellite Pro 465 CDX, I had the same problem in installing MDK 7.1.
After much fiddling around with the resolution, I finally resolved it by
changing the Graphic card to the first entry on Tatung. All of the
Generic settings worked fine during install, but then after booting
would flicker unless I changed the resolution to 256 colors. I was not
happy with 256 Colors, so I kept experimenting until I stumbled on the
right setting. Now it does not even flicker on 65 thousand colors. In
7.1 I changed it in Harddrake, but in 8.0 it's easier to use
