cannot install to AMD Geode LX800 machine

[Hideki Yamane]

Hi,

I was asked from a user who want to install Debian but I couldn't solve
his problem, so I want your help.

He uses "Kojinsha SA5ST12A", it has AMD Geode LX800 chip.

(Japanese)

He tried to install with debian-503-i386-businesscard.iso but the screen
comes to blank with white. (

)

I suggested to use "fb=false" as release note says, but it seems not to help.

If you have any suggestions about above problem, please let me know.
