Sorry, I no longer have access to that hardware to perform the test (it was the property of a former employer). However, I can tell you I did perform a network install using the mini iso as late as about three/four weeks ago. At that time (post 8.4.1 release) it still had a problem.
I did do a few internet searches on the matter and it appears the problem may be fixed in more recent kernels. I found a few threads talking about how support had been additional display frequencies. Aparently the display adapter in the Geode was confused by some of these frequencies (it did not support them but they were close enough to the ones it did support that it thought they were supported). That code was then removed from subsequent kernel builds as a solution until it could get worked out. IIRC, this all took place around the first/second week of May. Sorry for being so vague, but since I had the work around noted in the bug report, I just moved forward with that. Also all my documentation was left at my former employer. However, I am confident that kernels developed after about May 15th will likely work w/o issue.
