Did you try booting with acpi=force in the boot command line? In the
grub menu hit e to edit the options and add that to the end of the main
linux command line (middle line I think?). If that works then add it to
the proper lines in grub.conf.

I tried adding acpi=force in the "kermel" command line of the Grub
menu. It makes no difference.<br>

However, I have trouble booting Mandrake as well on that drive - I
think there may be other issues not relevant to the error message.<br>
