u could try..
1. deleting the extensions.mkext (by booting with -f)
2. or get your self another mach_kernel.. what kernel are you using? voodoo works the best for me
If you have the opportunity to boot into some unixoid OS (i.e. Linux, BSD, ...) you might check the md5-checksum of your iPC DVD, by using
m5sum /dev/<device-file>
where <device-file> is the one that belongs to your DVD drive. You can do the same with the ISO image you downloaded.
It should return a couple of numbers and letters, this should both match with the ones listet on the iPC website - since there are variosu PPF patches for iPC distro and I don't know which one you downloaded, you'll have to look up for it yourself.
With doing this you can ensure that you don't have a bad burned DVD or downloaded a corrupt ISO.
md5 checksum tool is avaible for Windows also, but Windows doesn't allow to check the DVD itself.
Yes.
