(II) [kms] drm report modesetting isn't supported

(EE) RADEON(0): chipset: "AMD RADEON HD 6800 Series" (chipID = 0x6739) requires KMS

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a useable configuration.

Looks like the graphic server (the X server) failed to start. The X server logs used to be stored in the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It should give you a complete information about what went wrong.

 

These days, however, most people simply try LiveCD versions first. Try it. If it works, then you can try install again. If it does not, then Mandriva may have issues with your hardware (not surprising, given that its last release was a year ago). I suggest that you try Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Fedora, or LinuxMint.
