The only thing I get on screen is some debug info and some error message about /dev/hde. On keyboard Caps lock and Scroll Lock are flashing and the only thing I can do is turn off the computer. /dev/hde is a hard drive on HightPint HPT370 RAID controler that is integrated onto motherboard Abit KT7A-RAID. Mandrake 9.0 boots just fine on the same computer. The BIOS version is A9 and the BIOS version of HPT370 is 2.34.
