new system wont even install linux..power supply issue?

[Que-TiP]

hi..i just threw together a system consisting of:

soyo SY-D6IBA dual proc main board
2 x celery 366 -> 550 on tekram slockets with chrome orbs
matrox g200 vid card
smc 10/100 nic
3com 10/100 nic
sb16 sound card
3 x ide harddrives
8x cdrom

all this ( plus 3 case fans ) are being powered by a 235 watt sparkle power supply
the strange part is that i can install win2k and win9x just fine, but linux wont install!
the cpus do 550 just fine ( had them in previos systems ) and all the other parts were part of my linux box before ( aka work in linux )
can anyone help!?
