The Pavilion will run it just fine. ...But you might try F1 at the splash screen and 'linux noauto' without the quotes at the input prompt. If that doesn't work, boot from CD#2 and use an alternate install image. AFAIK, the Pavilions all run ... HP is one of the vendors offering Mandrake bundled with some of its models. Besides, you missed the point of their questioning the CD--it isn't a burn error necessarily, it may be that your CD drive has worn sleeve bearings causing enough eccentricity to misread burned CD-Rs (CDRWs are five or more times as sensitive to this), but if you did not verify that the md5sum of the images you received matched the md5sum at the site that sent it, you may have had a transmission problem. These are more common than we like, but then the mirrors are not on Mandrake servers buyt rather generously volunteered by others.
