Ben, try the following (I'm Assuming your trying to load Mandrake 8.2) when the splash screen comes up hit F1 then at the boot prompt type in "linux mem=xxxM" without the quotes and replace xxx with the amount of ram memory not shared with video. See if that won't get the install started. hope this is of help. Dave
