i dled mandrake 10.1, burned image and tried installing linux on my new amd system..
i get to the first scree that says f1 for help enter for instalation

Try key combinations from ctrl+alt+f1 to f4. One of them shows the log and error details. You may be able to find out what was wrong by just looking at them. If you're not sure what it means copy the last part of the log (the messages you think are important) and post it.
