Thanks for your help. I just want to report the bug. Mandrake 7.1 is able to
run without any manual changes to lilo.conf. Hopefully, by the time of
Mandrake 7.2 is coming out, they will solve the problem.

Read /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/mini/Ultra-DMA.html. What you need to
do is to see what IO addresses Mandrake writes in lilo.conf for your
second tertiary and quaternary disks and add two to each.
It works fine on my box with kernel 2.2.17-0.24mdk. You ought to be
able to install OK - the hang on partition check occurs when you reboot,
so be sure to make a boot floppy with rescue when you install, then fix
/etc/lilo.conf from rescue.
Good luck.
