I have Dell inspiron 3800.
Have had Linux mandrake 7.? (1?) on it before without any problem.
Tried now to install LM 8.1, and I am not able to do it.
It hangs when it tries to use the CDROM (But it is able to use it before.Strange......)
Can anyone please help me? 
 
 
 
Here comes what I think is relevant of kernel messages:
<4> ide0 BM-DMA at 0x860-0x0867, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hda:pio
<4> ide1 BM-DMA at 0x868-0x086f, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdc:pio
....
hdc: SONY CD-RW CRX700E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM DRIVER
....

And continuing.
Tries also to reset ATAPI and disable DMA
