Problems Installing Mandrake 8.0 on Intel P4 mother board

[JMcNamara at e1b.org]

Thanks for the help. I was able to install 10.1 easily. However it did not 
come with KDE. Any suggestions are how to get it and what version? Being 
new to Linux this is all very foreign to me. Your assistance and guidance 
is greatly appreciated.

Problems Installing Mandrake 8.0 on Intel P4 mother board







Can anyone help me with my problem? 

I am trying to install mandrake 8.0 on new PC with an Intel D865PERL 
motherboard and Intel P4 processor. When I load the CD it boots normally 
to the initial installation screen and I press enter to begin the 
installation. A DOS type screen comes up with all sorts of information 
about things be loaded etc. The last line reads "pci_ide: unknown IDE 
controller on PCI bus 00 device f9, vid=8086, did=24db vfs: cannot open 
root device "" or 08:05. please append a correct " root=" boot option 
kernal panic :vfs:unable to mount root fs on 08:05" . 

Has anyone come across this error before or do you have any ideas? 

I have already contacted Intel... they were little help only giving me 
links to drivers and stating that Linux is not a supported platform. 

Thanks, 

Joe
