Mandrakelinux 10.1 installation


Hi,

I'm quite new to LINUX !!When I got started everything looked fine. I got the following message :

Driver installation for disk/ide|scsi|hardware_RAID|firewire nVidia Corp card.

I waited for a while but my screen was frozen and the installation stopped.

I have a brand new 61 bits 9NPA EPOX motherboard with 1 Go of RAM and an Athlon 3000.Presently XP is on an IDE IBM 60Go HD.I have 2 additional SATA MAXTOR 80 Go HDs . I am trying to install Mandrake on one of them.

My distribution version is ok.I have verified the checksum.I suspect the problem is somewhere else.

Is there anyone who could help ??

Thanks a lot.

I had a problem with mandrake, I just typed this at the boot prompt:

Code:
linux noapic nolapic
I think, you'll just have to reconfigure the bootloader after that. I don't know how though because thats where I got stuck!

Is it failing during the install process or after? I have a Suse box that I have to boot into safe mode to be able to use the screen locally. If you're getting through the initial install, you can try that option.
