Make sure you have the mandrake partition formatted to ext2.

actually there is a driver for it, calld sonypi, you have to compile it as module or build into the kernel, but read documentation before, for example for FX series it is not recommended.

i asume you cant boot with the installation cd ?
or does this message attend when you boot your installation for the first time?
