Red Hat 9 install no video

Installing Red Hat 9 on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. The install goes through all three CD's and says it needs to reboot the system.

At reboot it comes up with a blank error screen with a yes or no question I cannot read.

I can make out this message

(EE) R128(0): No valid modes found
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
