What kernel is your Amithlon CD? If it's a stock Amithlon CD and not modified, a newer kernel may offer VESA support for that chipset .
Amithlon CD not booting on a machine is not a strong indicator Amithlon doesn't work on that machine, it's a strong indicator that the kernel doesn't support the basic I/O of that chipset. I've had machines kernel panic on the stock Amithlon CD, boot with no video, lock on the final reboot before the OS loads....all to work just fine on Kernel 3.1 or Kernel 4.
No guarantee this could resolve the black screen but it's possible.
