Hi, I'm trying to install Mandrake 9.0 on a Toshiba Satellite 2430 laptop (P4 2.4, 256MB, NVidia 4GO 420). Using the install guidelines, I've tried to install booting from CD and boot floppy (using cdrom.img). In each case, the graphical installation screen gives the option of pressing enter for a graphical install, or other options such as text install, expert etc. However, no matter which of these I use, the install hangs almost immediately after pressing ENTER. In text mode, the screen output is:
Loading alt0... Loading alt0/all.rgz... Ready... Uncompressing Linux ... OK, booting the Kernel. Here is where the system hangs (no screen output or CPU activity) and i end up having to shut down. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix. Could be a SETUP BIOS problem? thanks, Simon
