[GLLUG] Mandrake 9 on fujitsu laptop

[Jeff Lawton]

I attempted to install mandrake on my laptop, it's a Fujitsu lifebook
c-4230. when I boot from the CD or a floppy image when it get to the check
partitions it list hda then hangs.(the drive lights stays on but the drive
it self spins down) I wondered it this was just a mandrake issue so I tried
suse 8, and RH7.3 with the same results. I also tried freebsd 4.6.2 and that
installed with no problems. Any suggestions?

BTW I configured the drive with gdisk and ghosted doze 98 in the first 5.7g
partition.
