Well, I have had problems in the past, especially with the RAID controller on my board, I gave up trying to use it and just disabled it. I have a spare Promise EIDE controller that I popped in that works fine. The only problem that I had with Mandrake 10.0 was that I had to specify ide=reverse on the LILO options because if I don't, Linux always reverses the IDE controller to make the Promise controller primary and that means that Linux boots with one set of drives detected and then switches them out mid boot and refuses to find the kernel image. With that one option, it works great. I had to give up on 9.2, couldn't get that version to install regardless of which options I specified. > I'm just plain wrong on this.

Well, I just started looking through the instructions to build a bootable DVD and am planning on using the rsync directory of devel-stable, or 10.0 mirror to build an image with all the updates intact once it gets the blessing. Even if it doesn't work, it will be an interesting learning experience. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
