I've got a Gateway Select computer, 850MHz AMD processor with 128MB. Linux Mandrake 7.2 installed fine, with no problems. Linux Mandrake 8.0 also installs fine. However, it won't boot. It gets *almost* to the "Welcome to Linux Mandrake 8.0" banner and just sits there. Everything is locked up at this point, requiring a power down of the computer. I tried using the RESCUE option on the CD to trim some stuff out of rc.sysinit. It got me a bit further into the boot process (past the welcome banner), but it always locks up. I thought it was a memory problem, but I saw that someone else with a 900+MHz AMD Gateway Select had the same problem, which I haven't seen any resolution to. I've re-installed 7.2 several times now, got a wild idea to try on 8.0, had it not work, and then had to pick up the pieces again. I'm getting pretty tired of it. Can anyone help? Can I install 8.0 a piece at a time via the rpm manager? -Al
