hi,

i tried to install linux (both suse 6.3 and redhat 6.1)
on a  olivetti modulo m4 p100. 
this didnt work.
i can boot from disk or cdrom, but then, e.g. when i
press <return> on "boot:"..(suse)......then theres
written:"loading initrd" but then it doesnt happen 
anything more, just a black screen.
when i was booting from disk there ist was:"loading
initdisk.gz" but then also the black screen and nothing
more.......
what do i make wrong?
are there maybe any computers that dont like linux? :-((((

help please, i really dont understand wheres the problem

    worked fine
