I have heard about this problem in a review article I read somewhere.
This is a very faint re-collection but I think it was something to do with
the BIOS being dated.
Have you upgraded the CD firmware?
I also had loads of trouble with the expert install try installing using the
custom option to see if the problem persists.
I've found the link look at the article below it originates from the main
mandrake site
