I am facing problems in installing Mandrake 9.0 (I
don't have 9.1) on a PCChips M787CL+ mainboard
[http://www.pcchips.com.tw/M787cl+v30.html ] with 256
MB RAM, and 40 GB IDE harddisk. The following error
appears:


error in exec of stage2 :-(
trying to execute '/usr/bin/runinstall2' from the
installation volume, the following fatal error
occurred
FATA ERROR IN STAGE1: Not a directory


The CDs and the ISO images are fine (MD5 checked).
Moreover Knoppix 3.1 boots without any problem, hence
no problem with the hardware as such.

A Google search revealed that a similar problem was
reported for VIA Epia 700 C3 mainboard at
http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2002-09/msg05544.php
 I tried to follow some of the tips, but without any
success :(

Has anyone on this forum tried installing Mandrake 9.0
on M787CL+ mainboard? Is there any method through
which 9.0 may be installed?
