Ok, I give up!  I've NEVER had this much trouble installing ANY Linux
product!!

After 1.5 days I finally got a complete minimal install.  Rebooted and during
the boot process I get this message...

[cut]

hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3200A, 3067MB w/76kB Cache, CHS=779/128/63
hdc: ATAPI 4X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache
Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.55
Floppy drive(s) fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is an 8277A
md driver 0.36.6 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
Partition check:
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

and it dies there!

What is going on?  I'm SO frustrated that I'm about ready to put Windows 98 on
the computer and pitch Mandrake out the window.

Any help VERY MUCH appreciated.

Thanks...
