Good day, I have any problem. I can install Mandrake 9.0 into my notebook
(compaq nx9010), where W xp is running. If I insert the first install disk
into drive and restart my machine, I`ll see the Mandrake install dialog box.
So I press enter key to start the instalation. Then the instalation control my
hardware and then the process cut. Screen looks like:

....
....hda:DMA...
....
hda:IC25N040ATMR04-0, ATA DISK drive
....
Partion check:
hda: and in this place cursor is blinking.

I don`t know where is problem. I have reserved a free place in hard disk to
install Linux and problem isn`t on the install cd side (on another PC the
install process ending successfully). Please help me. Thank you.

the installation disc should offer a 'safe mode' or 'failsafe mode' bootloader selection
very early on in the install process.

select it.

you probably need the 'noapic apm=off acpi=off' kernel parameters.
