I've more information.
It is a cdrom pb. When the system begin to copy more big files, i've got
the message hdb : lost irq.
( i see this msg when i do the text mode installation)
With the mandrake 6.0, i resolve this pb by compiling a new kernel
(2.2.13 i think).
My new question is :
Can i copy installation files to a vfat partition and use it to update
the system ?
( or can i boot my own kernel and then install from the cdrom)
Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
( i've unsubscribe the newbie list)

Sounds like a specific problem in upgrading from 6.0 to 7.0, especially
seeing as the hang always occurs at the same place in the install. As for
not losing any data. if you can boot the system as it is, you can always
move any of your files over to one of the other partitions, or even back
over onto a Windows partition if you still have any. This is one of the
reasons why I have a seperate partition for /home. I can re-install the
OS
as often as I like and it's fairly trivial to reconfigure stuff.
I'm afraid that a full re-install will tash anything you have under your
/
partition. Anyone else in here performed an upgrade to 7.0 rather than a
full install.
Denis (or anyone from Mandrake) - have you had any reports of the upgrade
process hanging like this - I would have thought tha the installation
merely copies files over the top of existing stuff, or does it do
hardware
detection on an upgrade as it does on a full install?
I can't see why installing a particular library would cause this kind of
problem though - If you can boot the system, bring it up in single user
mode (rather than entering linux or whatever at the LILO BOOT: prompt,
enter 'linux 1' When you get to the console prompt, try running fsck on
all
of your partitions to make sure they are all free from errors. You could
also try uninstalling the GNU C libraries with rpm and then re-attempting
the installation....
I suspect you have something screwed on your drive - bad blocks.
Are you overclocking your machine?

When the system hand, there is no more activity (cannot switch to another
console or ctrl-alt-sup to shutdown).
It append always at the same position.
For the last question, how can i do if i dont want to lose data.
(i have 2Go for /, /usr and /usr/local on distinct partition)
ps : sorry for my bad english.

Any error messages or just a straight "nothing is happening - no
activity"
type of hang?
Always at the same position in the install?
Is it possible to install 7.0 directly over 6, rather than try to update
the installation?

When updating my old 6.0 to 7.0, the system hang when trying to install
gnu C library.
Any idea ?
