The kernel on the install ISO has some known issues. A new release of the ISOs is due to hit the mirrors pretty soon - I'm told its been nailed down pretty well, its just a matter of it being sync'd with the x86 tree (or something to this effect). I'd expect that the new ISOs will solve your problems. A different boot ISO has indeed been released - but I believe it was simply to solve problems with it booting - not problems that were inherent in the kernel. Apparently you don't have problems booting, so I don't believe this would help you.

I have been trying to get mandrake to install on a G4 PCI, this is the only computer I have available to put mandrake on so I haven't had any success yet. My computer's Configuration is as follows:Ram: 256 MB

Sorry about the length of that there, just giving all relevant data.Anyway, I have the ISO images burned on to 2 CDs. My goal is to get mandrake to install on the 5GB that are remaining on the ATA 1 ID 1 45GB drive. I am able to boot of the CD either from open firmware or by holding down the C key. The problem exists once I choose an install type, no matter what type of install I chose it starts to load, then I get the following as the text scrolls by. "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00001832 (error 42000000)" shortly after followed by "Kernel Panic: kernel access of bad area PC c00a44fc lr c0004c50 address 1832 tsh swapper /1". And this is where I am stuck, any ideas?
