DOA Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I have downloaded the Mandrake 9.1 CDs and verified each ISO. Now when I go try and install, I only get a blank screen with my Caps lock and Scroll lock keys flashing. Is there an incompatability error? Intel P4 1.8A GHz Asus P4PE 1GB PC2700 Maxtor DM+9 60GB (17GB WinXP NTFS, 40GB free FAT32) Radeon 9500 Pro Lite-On LTD-166S/HP 9110i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Does the CD boot at all, i.e. do you get to the first screen where it says press Enter to continue or F1 for more options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOA Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Yeah the CD boots to that screen. I press Enter to install and that is when I get the blank screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 You are not alone, we have seen this one before. See this (near bottom of page): http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOA Posted April 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Thanks, that solved the problem but the installation wizard doesn't look that great. Does this mean it will look like that even after installing Mandrake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
