After first reboot my screen doesn't work properly. It only uses a small part of the screen. I've tried many different settings in kernel. no result. What may be wrong?
My laptop has ATI Mobility Radeon IGP 320M. Can it be a problem of missing driver or smth?
Well. Any advice/help will be greatly appreciated.

hey this is a hard thing to answer but in you kernel it will ask you your native resolution + framebuffer MAKE SURE YOU SET THAT CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!

I've tried many times. different settings.
If I set VESA mode to 1024x768@60 (natural to my lcd screen), it says after loading lilo and choosing the kernel:
EBDA is big; kernel setup stack overlaps LILO second stage
if I turn on 16 colors support then
ran out of input data
system halts


if I turn on ATI display support, then it hangs right after saying:
name-of-kernel ....., instead of saying BIOS check successful.
