Unhappy Mandrake 9 Hangs when installing on Athlon XP 1700+


Mandrake 9 Hangs when installing on Athlon XP 1700+

yeah, can't even begin installing, the funny thing is, mandrake 8.2 works just fine even more funny is that I have installed it from the same CDs on other AMD based machines includin non-XP athlons.

Anybody seen this before? Any Hints?

Guess what?

I've Tried RH 8.0 and it hanged in the exact same spot...

I guess it has something to do with the damned pcchips (825) motherboard!
