The laptop has a Trident CyberBlade Ai1 chipset, 8Mb RAM. If I go through the 4.8 Installation from the CD (which goes smoothly until I reboot), if I try to set up X using the graphical display the system locks up hard. That may be a driver issue or it may be related to the contigmalloc1 panic associated with the AGP. But this is easy enough to avoid to just complete a base install - I will attempt to get into single user mode and compile a debug kernel and see if I can give you some more detailed data.
