Hey, i tried loading "Linux Mandriva 10.2" (i think its 10.2) and it loads perfect and everything but when i start up, it comes to the boot menu, i pick linux it goes to the linux load up screen and it just reboots everytime it gets to the end.

Gonna need some hardware specs...
Have you tried F1 after selecting linux to show the boot process...might show an error that's relevant
(btw, Mandriva LE 2005 (10.2) is the reason I dumped that OS, I was a faithful Mandrake user prior to that...it got way too flakey on my hardware after the name change for some reason)

yes i think everytime i start up the boot process runs, but no errors at all, I got Intel P4 2.8 512 DDR 400 Geforce FX 5200, anything else you want to know?

This sounds vaguely familiar but by no means am I certain of this fix.
IIRC, I had to add "noapm" (no advanced power management) to the boot command to get one of my boxes to boot up.
"linux noapm" (without the quotes) would be what I'd try first...sorry, can't remember how to edit the boot command in Mandriva...pretty sure you can find that on your own.

Thanks, i will defintly try that and get back to you on this topic.
