[plug] MDK 10 on HP NX9010

[Kai]

Hi guys and girls,

I bought an HP Compaq NX9010
(http://www.ht.com.au/Scripts/xworks.exe?PART:M1158#Tof) a few weeks ago
and I dropped into Linux IT and bought Mdk 10 Official.

Tried installing Mdk 10 Official but the installer hangs just after the
initialisation screen, I've heard there might be a glitch with the first
install CD so I tried CD 2 and after a bit of waiting and some expected
noise from CD/DVD I get the message "I can't access a Mandrake Linux
Installation Disk in your CDROM Drive (_NEC DVD+RW _ND-5100). Retry ?"

I google'd a bit and found a page on someone who tried installing Red
Hat 9 and who had problems with it, one of their many suggestions is to
use "linux nousb nopcmcia noprobe nofirewire" at the boot:- prompt, but
that didn't do any good.

If anyone has any suggestions or pages they recommend I read about the
problem, please let me know

Thanks
Kai
