Hi

 Installation of Mandrake 9.2 freezes from ISO images (md5sum is OK and it
works on other computers). The last message is often ''hda : IDE attached
disk drive" and i just have to reboot !

My configuration :

 Sony PCG GRT 815 M (recently bought)
Pentium 4 2.8 MHz
HD 80 Go (Two partitions : 10 Go with XP Family, 70 Go clear)
CD - DVD RW
512 Ko Ram
NVidia GeForce 5600
Memory Stick port
No floppy drive

I've got no idea to solve this problem.
Thank you for your help.
