I downloaded the 3 ISOs for Mandrake 9.2, and tried to install them on an unused machine (dual Athlon 1800+). The installer would crash a short way into booting the Linux kernel.

It turns out that I have a bunch of customers who have those Athlon machines (good cost/benefit ratio when they were purchased about 2 years ago) and I need to pick a new OS for them, so it's not looking like Mandrake is an option. Web searches for dual Athlon install problems have turned up nothing. Anybody know anything?
