Snow Screen on HP EliteBook 8460

Hi Fog fans,
We got Fog working well with all our desktops and older laptops. We are having an issue with new i7 laptops we are getting. They are HP EliteBooks 8460p. PXE loads the kernel but gives this output…

Then the screen goes to snow. Similar issue in this [URL=‘http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/forums/forum/730844/topic/4632692’]thread[/URL] from the old forum.

I tried the Kitchen Sink kernel and that gets past the snow but it fails with Quick Host Registration, and snagging the image. I also tried the most recent kernel ‘Kernel-3.1-rc8.core’ and that gives me snow also.
Seems to be a video/GPU issue?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sorry, posted this in the wrong area. Saw it titled ‘Help!’ and went straight for it. I’ll post it in the correct place.

I have moved the thread for you

Have you tried using kernel arguments like nomodeset?
