Linux on TravelMate

[Fernando Alvarez-Uria]

Hi all!

Ive recently purchased an Acer TravelMate 242 laptop.

Ive tried to install some distros: gentoo, redhat, mandrake, debian, but
every of them gets freezed during the "Uncompressing Linux... Ok,
booting the kernel." message.

The only distro that boots is Suse 8.1

Does any one know is its necessary to pass any special argument to the
kernel in order to make installation process work?

Thanks a lot.
