| I can't install the mandrake 8.2 in my system. When the setup starts and i must select one of the options, if i move my mouse (to any direction) the pointer moves to the top right corner and does not move anymore. Then the an error of missing memory appears... .As you can see in my signature i have rambus PC800 (2x 128Mb kingston, no-ecc, 16bit). Actually the first time i did installed the linux (i may had other bios settings) but it was not stable and i tried to reinstall it. Could be the version of mandrake is old? Have you installed mandrake 8.2 or 9 in a system with an Asus P4T533C or in a rambus system in general? The mobo has the latest bios.

| You're not the only one with these problems. I've seen Mandrake 9 with stability issues on several older machines too. Mandrake 8.1 & 9 freezes just before the selction of packages in Setup on a Pentium 200MMX PC and the mouse sometimes goes crazy. I haven't seen any memory errors though. ![]() On my PII 400MHz PC, Mandrake 9 installs fine, but totally freezes totally (GUI or console mode) when I insert any CD into the Samsung CD recorder drive. I reported these issues to Mandrake support during the beta stage, but they are still there in 9 final. Luckily I have satellite http/ftp filefetch to get the ISOs. I gave up with the issues and changed to Redhat 8. |

| Well, today, after playing with bios settings i managed to install mandrake fine. I can't tell which setting caused the problem, maybe the plug & play os.
