  1. I've finished tried what SilverSurfer60 had suggested and it did freeze again and I wasn't to clear what he was trying to say in the second part. Nevertheless from what Arctic has told me is really a shame as I was really looking forward to trying Mandriva out and the moment I get a laptop I will try Mandriva out on there. Thanks to everyone for helping me out you've all been so nice but for now I will see if I can try ubuntu and other distros.
  2. I redownloaded it from the official website twice and downloaded it through utorrent once and each time I burned it I got the same error booting the disk.
  3. Hey I've tried again plugging the devices in one by one and waiting about four minutes during the boot to see if it does something else but it still freezes on the same spot. :sad:
  4. I've just finished plugging in each device one by one and it did not make a difference, but interestingly enough it takes a little while longer for the boot to freeze on the same error. Also what is this "dmesg" that you mention and how do I use it to get errors, I've searched google but found nothing and currently doing what arctic suggested. PS: After trying to pay attention on the booting process right before the error I've seen this weird command: Not activating Mandatory Access Control now since /sbin/css-init doesn't doesn't exist Is this bad?

  6. It still froze each time and all I had attached was the monitor and keyboard, also I tried the troubleshooting switches mentioned but nothing worked. I had downloaded and burnt the "Mandriva Linux One 2008 Spring Edition" from the official website and had burnt the disk image onto a dvd, all I want to try is their live cd (would there be a difference if i burned it onto a cd than i dvd?) Thanks for greeting me it's been awhile I've actually talked on a forum and I would like to try Mandriva out very soon
  7. Hey guys, well I want to try Mandriva on my desktop but it keeps freezing after I see the loading bar at the bottom. I have tried booting it in different ways mentioned in this forum with the burnt disk but it freezes at the exact spot every single time. I was also curious what was happening so I decided to see the text version of the install with no background and it freezes on the line "starting udev:" Is there a way to fix this?
