Ok, I think we (Adrian) found a workable workaround for the problem.
Adding things up:
To install from CD start with the mem=512M option.
After installation (using preferably the enterprise kernel) boot again with the
mem=512M option and remove the vga=788 option in the lilo.conf.
Reboot and everything works fine.

Nicolas: The fact that I didn't notice the problem after installation in the
first place is probably due to the text only installation. Presumably this type
of installation doesn't set the vga=788 in lilo.conf??? It doesn't enable the
framebuffer stuff?

Hi,

When installing Mandrake 9.1 RC1 on a computer with 1024MB (1 gig) of memory 
after the initial "install screen" the computer just dies and the caps lock and 
scroll lock start blinking. This is a showstopper for the installation!

Tried on 2 setups: P4 2.5 with ati 9700 Asus p4pe and AMD 2000+ with nvidia 
ti4600 Asus a7v8x. Both motherboards (after previous failure) flashed with the 
newest (beta) Bios -> Same problem. 
Same setup with 512 MB works just fine.
