OS installation problem ASROCK A7S8X

[Svante Järvstråt]

I have just built a computer with an ASROCK A7S8X motherboard, an AhlonXP
2000+ processor and an ASUS 9200SE graphics card.

I have tried to install both windows XP and windows 98, and it seems ok at
first.
But, when the installation is ready and I am to start loading drivers for
the mother board and graphics card I get an error message from the autorun
program on the CD, approximately as follows (translated from swedish):

Win98: "The program is linked to kernel32.dll which does not exist" (I
checked, and it does in the windows\system directory)
WinXP: "It is not possible to find the procedure start address i the
DLL-file KERNEL32.DLL"

I suspect a problem with the hardware. I would be thankful for ideas on what
the problem might be!

The problem was an incompatible IDE-cable to the DVD-ROM drive.
Now it works like a clock.
