-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In short, its a bug in the acpi implementation in the compaq 700 series. I've put up a how-to for installing cooker on it at my homepage (http://individual.utoronto.ca/noyes/projects/laptop/tuxtop.html)
To be able to boot into Mandrake the first time you have to set "acpi=off" at boot, and then recompile the kernel as stated on the above page. I'd also be thankful for feedback on the how-to, so don't hesitate.
