Try hitting F1 instead of enter and typing one of the following: linux noapic linux noapic nolapic linux acpi=off linux acpi=off noapic Try all 4 of these suggestions to see if you get a different result. If you don't, it is possible that your current sata controller is so new that mandriva has not packaged the right drivers with the current distribution CD. In that case, you will need to obtain drivers from Nvidia for your controller and then either place them within the CD ISO image so that they can be loaded from there or put them on a floppy disk or some other device so they can be loaded from there. Another option would be to install an IDE hard drive and install the boot image to that drive so that the kernel drivers for your IDE drive can be placed there, that will allow you to load them prior to trying to initiate the partitions on the sata hard drive. For the record, I am also using an Nvidia chipset motherboard with Sata controllers and the noapic option works perfectly on mine. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
