That's what I was thinking, Rod. But I was hoping to not have to do that.
But, such is life.
As far as the settings go, all is the same and the motherboard is new. The
I/O address did change(I think). The only thing i noticed is that in the
boot sequence, Linux was looking for hde and it used to be hda. Go figure?

On mandrakes website, they advertise they support udma66 with 7.1. I dont
know which chipsets, but that what they say...
It should still boot. have you got the settings the same? LBA? Have a look
at the cyl, hds, sectors to make sure the settings are the same on both
motherboards. And I have had the problem with some old motherboards that the
mappings were not compatible, which means a reinstall.
I dont know how far it will get into the boot, as most of your devices will
probably be at different I/O address and so on. The more I think about it I
believe you are up for a reinstall. Copy off all your config first, do the
upgrade, install and restore them.
Regards, Rod
