inspiron 8100 and debian woody

[Karen Loiselet]

Hi all,
after a successful installation of debian on an old desktop k6-2 I decide to 
migrate my inspiron 8100 laptop to debian (currently I run mandrake). But now I 
have some freeze problems during installation procedure. I've googlelised and 
read linux-laptop with the only result of booting with bf24 noapic video16:off 
but this still doesn't work. Anybody have encounter the same problem and find a 
solution?
Thanks to all
Karen
