Like mlindeboom said in his bug report Bug #312924 My laptop came with 4GB of RAM, i physically removed 2GB, because i read so on a forum. Before this i wasn't even able to install Mandriva on my laptop. After this (using only 2GB) i could. In my case the VESA driver doesn't work, also the VGA driver fails. Only radeon sometimes worked but after waiting for 2 minutes, no mouse support / touchpad support.

! There is also a bug in the grub menu, ubuntu doesn't register my windows partition correctly. It places an entry with windows Vista / Longhorn with partition (0,0), this should be (0,1). Mandriva's grub boot loader install this correctly. (0,0) is my recovery partition.
