Although it works fine at school, when I try to boot into Mandrake Move
(Mandrake's new CD-based, portable system) on my home machine, it locks up.
I'm running an AMD 1.2G Celeron with 512 MB memory, 3 IDE disks, an IDE
CD-ROM, an old 2GB SCSI disk, an 8Mb ATI 3D rage LT Pro video card, and
a new Envision 19" monitor that I run at 1600x1200, 75 Hz vert. refresh.
I multi-boot between NT4, two XP installations, Mandrake 9.2, and
Mandrake 10.0.
Mandrake Move appears to load just fine up through the KDE splash screen
where it says that it's installing peripherals . . .desktop . . .panel .
. . It stays in "panel" a lo-o-n-g time, then the KDE thing goes away &
I'm left with a pretty blue screen with a line about 1/2" up from the
bottom, ending in a Mandrake logo near the RH side. At this point, I
can move the mouse cursor around the screen, but can get NOTHING else to
happen. Mouse clicks, various CTRL key combinations, all are ignored.
The CD drive even ignores the eject button.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help will be much appreciated.
FWIW, booting into Knoppix works fine.
