Hi, I posted this question at the newbie list but got no luck, they suggested to post it here instead. Here it goes. I�m trying to install Mandrake 8.1 with no luck. When I boot the machine with the CD or the floppy with the cdrom.img it stops just after this line: "SYSLINUX 1.48 Linux-Mandrake copyright 1994-1999 H. Peter Avin" The monitor loses contact with the computer (gets ofline) and the cdrom spins a little and then stops. And all the ligths in the front panel at the computer starts to blink in sync. Any ideas about what could be the problem?
Some info about this machine: -Dell XPS 180n, a Pentium Pro machine at 180Mhz with 98 MB RAM. -Matrox Mystique 220 4 MB RAMDAC -Creative SB32 -HD(1) IDE IBM-DAQA-33240 (Master) -HD (2) IDE WDC-AC31600H Both harddrives are clean, nothing on them. The filesystem on both are FAT32 right now after format. I flashed the motherboard with the latest driver, while I had win98 and it worked great. No problems there. I have been removing hardware to see if the install would kick in, but no result there. I appreciate any help. (I can add that I have been using Linux/Mandrake for 6 months, so I�m not new with the OS) /Edvard _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ H�r b�rjar Internet!
