OK well i had a problem with the bootloader but thats fixed. The only problem now is this annoying DISABLING IRQ# error
First its #11 i disabled it in the bios, it then is #5, disabled that then its #15. WTF is wrong with mandragke here? Other bootible linuxes work without this error. mandrake installed fine but its almost unuseable because its so slow and stalls every time (i think) its trying to disable these irq's. I cant use mandrake when it took 4 hrs to install and 30 minutes to boot up. and another 5 between programs.
