sco 5.0.2 cd boots to garbled video...

[albertamike]

i'm trying to boot an sco 5.0.2 cd to install on a dell dimension xps
t500 (pentium-iii 500). after the post, the system accesses the cd and
the screen then displays multi-colored, garbled video (corrupt looking).
has anyone seen this? is there an explanation/fix for this?

If it has an nVidia graphics card, look for an updated BIOS for it. If
it's built into the motherboard then you'll probably need an updated
motherboard BIOS since the video BIOS will be integrated.
