Yes, that's the standard starting address for video RAM on a VGA- compatible graphics adapter in graphics mode (0xb8000 in text mode). Changing the card won't fix that. I suspect you have a typo in your kernel config, or your NIC is misconfigured (if it's one of those that come with a DOS config utility). BTW, this really belongs on -questions, not in the GNATS database.
