Did you start over and try again, is this a fluke or does it consistently happen? Have you tried any other distro or version of Mandrake to see if maybe just Mandrake 9.1 is the problem? Mandrake 9.2 is available or maybe it would be good to try a different distribution altogether to see if it's something wrong with the Mandrake installer. Is this pretty normal hardware or is their something "special" about your computer? Answers to these will help get the ideas flowing.
