I have tried running 'linux text' and manually installing drivers from the f2 options screen.  Any ideas? Forgive me if this is an unbearably simple question, but I am new to linux.

Do the install using the nousb flag. I have had the same issue on some 
1850s and had to disable the onboard scsi port allowing only the scsi 
card to be enabled.

So, it is not the monitor probe that crashes, but instead what normally 
would follow it... mouse probe, where it kicks in with a USB check... 
bombs away!!!
