Mandrake freezes after booting the kernel

[Perdido]

Hello all,

I have a problem trying to install Mandrake 9.2 in my Clevo D400E laptop (I have the same problem with other distros):

I boot with the CD 1 (it has been tested in other computer and it works) and it freezes after booting the kernel (the screen goes black and there is no activity). I have to reboot.

If I try to load it with a text-only option I can see these messages:

Loading root.bin...
Loading linux.bin... ready.
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

Then it freeze...

Any idea?. Someone here with the same laptop (it is reselled with a lot of diferent names all the world arround) and Mandrake 9.2?.
