I downloaded mandrake move yesterday and burned the iso. I'v loaded it up on 2 different computers and get the same thing/
Everythin seems to be going.then boots to a blue screen--thats it.
I waited 10 minutes- nothing - Do I have to have a usb drive to get this to work? - I tried both, my nvidia and onboard vga ports..vga=black, card=blue,

it loads all 3 parts --detects my drives, exc. all ok
and still a blue screen.

Thanks-- 3rd try at a linux distro adn still confused..

I am also experiencing the same results. I've tried it on 2 systems here, the specs are as follows:


System 1

Epox 8k7a+ (onboard HPT 370 RAID)
AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz
256 MB PC2100 DDR
Matrox G550 DH
Envision 710e 17 inch monitor
Askey CPH050 Tv tuner/capture
NEC USB 2.0
Maxtor 20 GB HDD
Maxtor 120 GB HDD (8mb Cache)
Hp 9500i CDRW Drive
Generic dvd rom drive
Generic 52 x cdrom drive
Logitech USB optical wheel mouse
Generic PS/2 keyboard


System 2

Epox 8kta3
Athlon 1Ghz(266)
384 MB PC 133 SDRAM
Matrox G550 DH
Envision 710e 17 inch monitor
Western Digital 30 GB HDD
Generic 52x cdrom drive
Logitech USB cordless optical wheel mouse
Logitech keyboard


Unfortunately both systems have many of the same or at least similar parts, so getting the same results on both systems isn't that suprising.

However, I have successfully installed and ran Mandrake 9.1, although I'm having problems with 9.2, but i believe the problem is caused by the NEC USB 2.0 card, possibly because I'm still using it with both pairs of onboard USB controllers. At the time i was running 9.1 the USB 2.0 card was not installed.

I changed my monitor from my FX card to the onboard VGA- and it gave me access. It defaults to onboard VGA until you save the VGA settings to a memory stick.
Looks great.
I'm looking foreward to Mandrake 10 ~soon
