Booting into linux

Hi

I have a P4 1.5 Ghz, 512 MB ram machine with a GeForce 6600 Gfx card on an Asrock 845 GV MB.Linux does not boot at all unless i remove my card and use the onboard video.But when i boot it in vmware it runs like a charm.
While booting it says partitioning error and freezes.
Any help is appreciated.
I tried PC linux os and fedora 5.

Please try any latest distro(Fedora Core 6, Ubuntu Edgy, openSuSE 10.2 etc.) and then post your findings...

on vmware i dont think it detects ur gfx card.... it just randomly allocates video mem... thats y it works...
n yea try a newer distro...

Install these drivers may this cud help you..
