Nathalie,

My memory was a bit off on this one the option is actually
"skipddc" to skip the monitor probe.  There is a list of all
the boot options available to you on the RedHat site:

http://redhat.pacific.net.au/redhat/linux/8.0/ja/doc/RH-DOCS/rhl-ig-x86-en-8.0/ch-bootopts.html

Here is the boot line i'd try first:

linux  nousb skipddc noprobe apm=off 

Good luck,
Sean
