Hi,

I've just installed Mandriva LE 2005 in my laptop - an HP Omnibook XE3.

I've never had problems with Mandrake since i own this laptop.

Now, Mandriva starts, but it hangs just after a few (a dozen or so) boot line messages.

No error, no nothing. I can't give you any aditional info
Just hangs.

3 or 4 lines before the freeze i get this:

IRQ 0 for device 0000:000:1f.1 doesn't match PIRQ mask - try pci=usepirqmask

Already tried to boot passing this parameter to Mandrivas' kernek, but no good.

Another strange thing: i have Mandriva in dual boot with XP.

The first time i boot XP after trying to boot Mandriva, XP before the login windows crashes with a BSOD only visible during a fraction of a second and on rebopoting again, XP says it couldn' start before and shows that menu offering to start in safe mode, etc.

Has anyone around here had this problem (whatever the machine) ?

Any help would be apreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
