 the reason I ask, is the way memory is handled is very different.
 if you are using the AMD64 version, are you getting to the 'enter for
 install or f1 for other' screen? if so, then try f1, then type in 'linux
 nofb' and hit enter. do you have no IDE devices?

  if you are getting to the 'enter for install or f1 for other' screen,
  then you may try some other switches for the kernel. do you have 'shared

  bios? you might have mentioned it earlier, but how much mem do you have.
  (if you have over 780 megs ram, and are using a 32 bit version, you will
  need to pass a swich that says you have less memory, until the install is

since you are using the AMD64 version, you will not need to worry about the 
'780' memory limit.
when you hit f1, you will see some instruction to other kernels and switches, 
you may need to try more than one switch, adnor commbonation of switches, but 
I am betting it is a problem with frame buffer and your video card, I have an 
ATI 9700 with 128 meg ram, running amd64 MDK, (but a different MOBO) and I 
have to use the 'nofb' switch to install too.

Guys, it sounds like he is booting fine from cd one and getting the 
press enter to install or upgrade mandrake linux screen.

I wonder if it's not going any further because of a hardware 
incompatibility??? Motherboard or vid card perhaps?

ali tig - it might be worth searching the net to double check all your 
hardware is linux compatible. Posting a list of your components here 
could help you too. I'm no hardware compatibility expert myself though, 
I can only vouch for the bits that are running in my computer.

Hope this helps,
Aidan.

If you are able to change the boot sequence in your
bios, to set your cdrom drive as the first to boot, that *should* allow you to an install. If you are unable to do that, then just browse the install CD#1 and read the INSTALL.txt file. It will explain how to make a boot floppy in MS Windows that will allow you to install Mandrake. HTH. Good luck to you, and if you need more help, there are many here who are very knowledgable and able to do just thatexcluding myself of course. ;-) Welcome to Mandrake Linux, and the newbie list. :-) Best regards.there if I am not mistaken ,something on that in cooker but I don't remember the bug number --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness." -- James Thurber *** ~Linux Powered by Mandrake 10.0~
