I've just bought a new PC and was busy getting ready to install mdk 9.1 on it. I got the screen where I am asked what options I want to start (or just enter for default install). After that screen, I get the flashing leds on my keyboard and nothing else.

Now it is possible that it's the PC - I built it together with my brother in law. But I doubt this as Arch, knoppix and win 2k CDs can all boot fine.

I suspect the cause is the memory - I have 1024MB

I don't know if there is any way to tell the installer how to handle this. I've tried using

and it didn't help

Any ideas?

Boy, that's an old 9.1 installer bug. The magic command to get it to go is "linux vga=0". Here's a link describing the bug:

Thank you! It worked
