I,ve been following this thread with interest as I've the same. I installed
Open Linux and there was no problem. I have AMD K11-6 400 & Soyo 5ehm,
64ram. It has a via chip. I'll re-install Mandrake again and see if I can
fix it. The reason for posting this is in case it is an AMD or Soyo/VIA
problem which may help to slove problem. Not everyone has it, so what is the
common denominator? Generally is it better to stick with Intel?
