[newbie] System Crashing During Installaton of LM 8.0

[Ken White]

I have an AMD K2 -6 300, with 128 MgRam and a TgriX mother board.  The chip sets are:  SIS 5595, onboard graphics APG SiS 530 and onboard sound CMI8738.   During Installation (GUI and text), the system freezes.  I doesn't matter how many or how few apps I try to include in the install, it freezes each time.   When I install using "text" I get various, here's two:          1.  error installing package list: control-center-1.4.0.1-2mdk.i586         2.  Kernal panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!  In interrupt handler-not     syncing.   #2 is the error i usually get.   I know my 5595 chip has a problem with CDROMs and I've downloaded the fix for windows.  Could this be my problem installing Mandrake?  I had a simular problem when installing Windows.   Thanks,   Ken/NJ
