I'm running mandrake 7.1 on a Duron 600 with ASUS A7V motherboard. I did the
install myself. 7.1 installed perfectly on my system. Perhaps it is the Abit
board that is causing the problems? The other possible issue is power supply
and RAM. The Athlon series want a high quality 300w power supply and AMD
recommends that you use new ram in conjunction with these chips. I'm using
pc-100 ram that is about a year old in my system and I haven't had any
problems.
Good luck!
