http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/errata.php3#kt266a Error scenario: Mandrake Linux 8.1 installs flawlessly on systems with K7T266 Pro2 Motherboards, but fails to boot after installation. Error message is "Bad EIP value". Why: The BiosPNP support in kernel 2.4.8 is broken for the KT266A chipset. Solution: Press "ESC" when you see the LILO bootloader screen, and type "linux nobiospnp". The system will boot correctly, giving you the change to edit /etc/lilo.conf. Add the "nobiospnp" option to every "append=" line in lilo.conf, then run /sbin/lilo, and reboot.
