To get system to boot from PC press ESC. 2.) Comes up with 3 options. Choose CD. 3.) Starts booting from CD. Screen comes up asks if you want to do Install/upgrade or Other. Choose Install 4.) Message comes saying: ENABLING PCMCIA EXTENSION CARDS 5.) Message goes away. 6.) System basically freezes in this state. Note: This did not happen for Mandrake 9.0 (The current system on the machine). Basically the same thing happened for 9.1. Also note that in Mandrake club forums there are other documented cases of the same thing. With the same comments about the install worked for MD 9.0, but did not work for 9.1 (Were able to install 9.0, but not 9.1) For a variety of Sony Laptops that use the external CD-ROMS.
