Hit F1 and try the following or combine them;

linux vga=normal

linux noapic

linux text vga=normal

linux acpi=off

 

This is why I suggested noapic (from my /var/log/messages)

APIC is after ESR....I wonder why ESR is in mine twice?

 

Also try unplugging extra stuff like usb scanners, modems, and printers...they can be configured later.

OK got mandrake 9.1 installed onto another machine. I haven't really tested it out yet, but it looks like it's running beautifully. I'm so excited! Now I just need to figure out how to set up an ftp server on this thing. I installed mandrake with Higher security levels and I installed "web/ftp server" during set up. I am also running KDE 3.1. I like what you have done with the new KDE desktop. It looks much cleaner than the 8.0 version and that colour of blue is my fave!

We have not done anything :)

This is an independent board, and is not connected with Mandrake in anyway.

We here just to help fellow users of Mandrake and other Linux Operating systems.

Actually, ms writes their stuff so that you have to have their programs, so it's the other way around. Linux works with anything that wants to work! :wink:
