I don't think it's your Adaptec U2W card that's causing the problem. I had a similar system too and it always hang. After removing my ATI 128 AGP video card, everything works fine. Try replacing your ATI 128 video card with another video card (it could be another ATI card, just not the 128 chipset one) and see if that works. -----Original Message----- From: Del Craddock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2000 11:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Install Mandrake 7.02 - install lockup with a Adaptec 2040u2w (newbie) I am trying to install 7.02 and it always locks up after it detects my Adaptec 2940u2w and tries to install the driver. Machine info Motherboard - Abit BP6 with 2 400 Celrons Adaptec 2940u2w, 400h, interrupt 5, id 7 256 meg ram three scsi drives and jazz drive soundblaster live ATI 128 w/ 32 meg ram Netgear FA310TX ethernet all the above works fine under NT4. I have tried to go the expert route but I am not sure that I ever got all the settings right, since I have not been able to find out where the settings are documented. The install starts normally, finds the card and identifies it correctly, but locks when trying to load the driver for it. If I force it skip loading the driver, the install continues on until it comes time to select the location to install and there are no drives to load it on. (As would be expected.) Thanks in advance for your help & suggestions. Del
