Hello all, I have a bit of a problem. My company has several high-volume servers running Mandrake Linux, and all have been recently upgraded to 8.0 with no problems. However, on the two Compaq 1850r (Pentium III 550, Intel chipset) I was just sent, 8.0 will not install. 7.2 installs without a hitch, but 8.0 hardlocks on "Probing serial ports". Nothing is connected to the external ports, however both machines to have built-in remote consoles. I have done my best to make sure they are disabled. They are up and running fine, so this isn't a big issue, but I would like to be able to upgrade them at some point. Compaq is clueless, and frankly so am I at this point. So any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Karl Davenport _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
