 acmiddleton : 07/08 04:46 : Incident created     Hitting F1 
following reboot (see my last ticket), just resulted in a 
pure blue screen. I hit ESC a couple of times and got some 
text, but I'm pretty sure the system is locked up (keyboard 
beeps now when I type any key, fan turned on, indicating CPU 
is in tight loop).

My system: Dell Latitude C600/C500, 1Ghz PIII, 256M SDRAM, 
14.1 SXGA display, 8x CDRW, Win2k/8.1 Mandrake dual boot. Had 
a compact flash plugged in, as well has ethernet cable. BIOS 
is up to date.

This problem is repeatible.

Good news: I rebooted, and this time tried just installing 
rather than upgrading linux, after a few boot messages, the 
GUI resumed. Everything from this point worked fine: I just 
set my mount point, picked packages, but did a cancel and 
went back and mounted /home because I forgot, and the install 
worked fine, though at the end of the first time wizard, when 
the browser was invoked, the size was wrong, and it looked 
confusing.
