 I actually don't have a DVD ROM.  The Mandrake install won't boot from
 my primary CD ROM.  But I hit Alt-F4 and I got the error message you
 asked for:
 
 4 HDC :Command Error: Status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error}
 4 HDC :Command Error: Error=0x50
 6 End_Request:I/O error, dev 16:00(HDC), sector (1225708)
 
 And then it just repeats, but the only difference is that the sectors
 are different.

Thanks, I'm asking our kernel guys for assistance in interpreting
these errors.

 Thanks Tom you were right.  If I run the install CD's off my
 secondary CD-ROM then the install works perfectly.  Weird
 though...

Can you help us troubleshoot this problem by retrying with your
DVD driver, switch ton console #4 (Alt-F4) and tell us the
problems/failures you see reported by the kernel? Thanks!

 Could not uncompress second stage ramdisk.  This is probably
 a hardware error while reading the data.  (This may be caused
 by a hardware failure or a linux kernel bug)

Is this using a DVD drive by chance? I've had the same problems (albeit with 
8.x)  while using my DVD drive. The solution was for me to restart 
installation on my secondary (cdrw) drive.
I'm not sure if that will help or not, but it might.
Another thing to do:
make SURE your cd rom is supported (it should be, most basic cdroms are)
