Brand new to Linux.  Installed Mandrake 8.1 on a Dell Optiplex GX1p with
256 mb ram and 2 EIDE hard drives.  Would not boot from the install CD
but did boot from IsoLinux on CD2.  Changed back to CD1 and the install
went well.  No other OS on this machine.  When the machine rebooted
'LIL' - no 'O'- appeared on the screen and everything stopped.  Had to
turn the box off.  Then tried to boot from the boot diskette created by
the install.  Got the message "Kernel not found". 

Any suggestions as to what to try next?  Have actually re-installed
twice - both times without problem once I booted from CD2.

Thanks for any help.
