It is the chipset that is causing problems for me. Same on my newlyfound server. Mandrake will install, but wont boot. Don't know where the problem resides, but I've installed another graphicsaccelerator now, so I'll try to see it it works. It could also me my chipset, I don't know for sure.

It could be that mandrake 9.0 is not compatible with your machine. I had to put mandrake 8.2 on my computer, which works beautifully, make a boot disk using an older kernel image, boot to that disk and then was able to do an update to 8.2. If I tried a clean install, it wouldn't work. Everything is working fine right now and I am hoping that when a newer kernel comes out I will be able to use it and that my computer will work with it.
