Yes,  
if you go to http://www.iki.fi/tmb/9.1/ and use the bootfloppy there, 
or the boot-cd if you prefer... 
 
and follow the instructions on the page on how to use them...

description: 
Attempting to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 fails on most obvious paths:
1) Boot from CD1.  <Enter>.  Black screen and hang.
2) Boot from CD2.  <Enter>.  Black screen and hang.
3) Boot from CD1:
    text: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
    vgahi: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
    vgalo: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
    linux: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
    alt1: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
4) All of items under #3, with option "mem=800M".
5) All of items under #3, with option "mem=200M".
6) Boot from floppy, repeat #3, #4, and #5.

I wasn't able to try booting from floppy intending to install from HD since the
instructions for doing so appear to have been well hidden.

Hardware:
    Gigabyte GA-7VRXP (rev. 1.0, BIOS F11)
    AMD Athlon XP 1800+
    2 x 512MB DDR/266 ECC SDRAM DIMMs
    MSI GF4 Ti 4800, 8xAGP, 128MB
    Adaptec AHA-2940UW
        Pioneer DVD-305S
        Pioneer DVR-104
        [other SCSI devices]
    SB Audigy Platinum

CDs's MD5 ckecksums are correct.
