Do you mean that domain 0 fails to mount its root file system
i.e. you haven't got INIT running yet?  Does the kernel command
line get printed out OK as the domain boots?

If so, this is pretty surprising. If it's getting past the
initial mount, check that your /etc/fstab has /edv/hda5 as the
root partition rather than a label.

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get Mandrake working with a
little persistence and help.

Cheers,
Ian
