I've tried the Boot CD at that location without success. The symptoms are
unchanged.
The hardware has changed slightly, so I should update:
Gigabyte GA-7VA (rev. 2.0, BIOS F9)
AMD Athlon XP 2700+
3 x 512MB DDR/333 ECC SDRAM DIMMs
ChainTech GFFX 5900, 8xAGP, 128MB
Adaptec AHA-2940UW
Pioneer DVD-305S
Jaz 2GB external
UMax Astra 1220S scanner
Pioneer DVR-104
Seagate 8004, 80GB 7200rpm UATA/133 HD
SB Audigy Platinum
Nothing has substantially changed, the chipset is still Via, the video is still
nVidia, et c.
On the off chance that the problem was having >=1GB of memory, I also attempted
text installs ("text" and "text mem=512M") with only 512MB installed, using both
the CD (disk 0? :-) ) at the site mentioned above and again with the original
CD. No change.
So, ..., I'm still not sure what the problem is or how to fix it.

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.
