This is absolutely weird! I think maybe it IS the RAM because I just tried installing Jaguar 10.2.4 on ANOTHER Pismo this time with less RAM (64 MB) and it still does the video thing. It could be that the install disks are bad...happened on two separate occasions with the same Jaguar install disk. Or it could be the RAM...

I do have Panther, Tiger, and Leopard, one of these other guys might install but it could be the RAM.

Anyone have any 128/256/512 PC100 SO-DIMMs just in case it's RAM?
