I just upgraded my workstation here and it seems that I can no longer
install Mandrake.
I've tried MNF 8.2, Mandrake 9.0, and 9.1.

I can boot off the first CD, but when I hit enter to start the
installation, the bar gets about 9/10ths of the way across and then my
screen goes blank and the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights start
flashing on my keyboard.  The machine is then locked up hard and has to
be powered off.. 3 finger salute does no good.. Google searches indicate
that the flashing keyboard lights indicate a kernel panic of some sort..


Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this?

System configuration is:

ASUS P4T533-C motherboard Intel 850E chipset
P4 2.53 533mhz bus
1 gigabyte Samsung 1066RDRAM
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9700
Hercules Game Theater XP sound card
Intel 10/100 ethernet built into motherboard
