I just installed mandrake 9.2 on my dell dimension 2400 and now when i attempt to boot from grub i get a disgusting windows type error: Error 28 - cannot fit into memory, or something like that.

It should be noted that this is the second time i've installed mandrake. The first time I did it I used lilo and after I changed it to boot to windows by default when booting linux the power to my moniter would turn off and it would just hang. (before i changed the default it booted up fine).

Im getting tottaly frustrated with this i wanted to use linux to get away from these stupid errors.

well everywheres i have read so far, the only thing i am noticing that has fixed the problems for others, is by updating grub ...
so i'll leave you with that info, and see if anything else pops up ;-)
