Hi, I installed mandrakesecurity 9  "successfully" , when it boots up i get a screen (dualbooting) with a menu to choose either windows or linux, if i chose linux then the screen goes blank and never comes back. However, the startup process seems to be continuing as there is hdd activity noise and the network is being probed (flashing lights) Please help, I am new to linux, have been using freebsd for more that 3 years I have nVIDIA GeForce mx 200 video card celeron 1333 Mhz processor thanks in advance
