That's 3.0r1 right?
It sounds like the installer is trying to use a VESA framebuffer mode with more lines than your screen has available.
At the "boot:" prompt, try typing "vga=0x305" before you press <enter>. If you're already typing something else, such as "bf24" to install a 2.4 kernel, just add "vga=0x305" to the end.
If that doesn't work, try "vga=0x303" or "vga=0x301".
I had a similar problem with my Dell C400; had to go back to a simple VGA screen for the install:
boot linux video=vga16:off
and then again at first boot.
cheers, c.
