Anyone install Mandrake 10.0 on latest HP notebook ?

I got a Pavilion ze5500 and every Mandrake's version freeze a few seconds after I hit enter. I think that I will use Mepis for a couple of months more. .

Thanks for posting the notebook model that you have.
 
Exactly when does it freeze?
 
During install?
 
At the GUI screen?
 
Please give more specifics.

OP
Some specs of my notebook (Exact model 5568cl):
But differs from danleff's notebook in this things P4 2.66, 768 of RAM, 80GB HD and internal Broadcom Wireless Lan 54G.
 
Using the 1st CD of the Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community, after booting with it, I hit the "Enter" button, then its says above the screen "Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community" and thats all, I leave it alone for loooonnngggg minutes but nothing changes.
And with Mandrake 9.2 its freeze at the begining of hardware detection when say something about TEXAS INSTRUMENTS bla, bla, bla.
 
 
With Mepis 2003 I have to write in the first screen after booting with the CD1 this "linux acpi=off" to stop the freezing.
