Description of problem: With 2 graphic cards it's impossible make the LiveCD boot correctly if the bios don't block one of the 2 cards, cuz only can give priority of use to one of those are instaled but not block the integrated chipset graphic card. Maybe make the LiveCD in "nomodeset" can make more usefull to that people with the same problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mother card ASRock P4i45GV How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
With distros like sabayon is posible boot without any modification, also the current mandriva 2011 boot in a "nomodeset" like, it seen bad in the instalation but fix it with run xdrake an select the current card. Also i sugest make an "device management" like in windows to can block unused devices there.
