I am having a major problem installing Mandrake. I have an ASUS A8V-Deluxe WiFi MB and an ATI AIW 9800Pro video card. When the install starts it hangs as soon as I hit enter. Screen shows the moving bar and then screen goes black.  If I try hitting F1 (after rebooting) and do a text install(ugh) I get the start of loading and then it gets to this: PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:10.0, from 11 to 5 and the pauses. I can remove the CD and reload it, the DVD drive lite comes on then goes off. Actually several of the line above. Any suggestions? TIA
