Guest Dr.D Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) I've tried installing Mandrake but I just don't get it. I first tried with version 8.2 and worked fine but it didn't recognized my sound card and modem so i tried a newer version. When I tried to install version 9.1, the instalation program didn't loaded !? It booted from the cd fine but when the kernel starts to load it simply blanks the screen and stops (hangs). Versons 9.2 and 10.0 are doing the same thing. I have a network card witch I do not use (I have no network) so I disable it software from BIOS. I tried installing Mandrake with the network card enebled and I get the same result. My current configuration: -Mainboard: ECS K7VMM -Network Card: Realtek (on-board) -Sound Card: AC 97 (on-board) -Modem: PcTel HSP56 MR (CNR) -Hard Disk: Maxtor 40GB 7200RPM DiamondMax8 (IDE) -CD-ROM: Asus CD520/A5 -CD-R/RW: Phillips CRW5232 52/32/52 -Northbridge: VIA KM266 -Southbridge: VIA VT8233 -USB 2.0: VIA VT6201 -Memory: 256MB (224MB seen by sistem beacouse of video card) -Processor: AMD Athlon XP 1700+ -Video Card: S3 Savage4 32MB share (on-board) - PCI -BIOS: Award (latest upgrabe available) Edited August 17, 2005 by Dr.D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
