Hi Michael.
I tried installing Mandrake v8.1 using the GUI and the Text mode but as
soon as it tries to detect the built-in VGA, the system suddendly freezes. I
tried putting a GeForce2 MX400 on the same motherboard and it worked ok.
Maybe the Mandrake is having a hard time detecting the built-in
Savage4Pro VGA on that particular motherboard. Thank you anyway for the
suggestion. Don't know what else to do :-(
