Hi folks! I have run into some serious problems installing Mandrake 7.2 on my box, having the following specs: - Abit BE6-II motherboard (not version 2), latest BIOS (UH) - Celeron 466 - 256 MB RAM - Two HD's on UDMA66 (HPT366), both IBM. /dev/hde - IBM 30GB, 7200rpm, ATA66/100 (boot) /dev/hdf - IBM 13.5GB, 7200rpm, ATA66 - DVD/CD and CD-RW /dev/hda - Pioneer 10/40 DVD/CD /dev/hdb - HP 9100i - Matrox G400 MAX DualHead - Creative 1024 Live! Installation goes quite well, but reboot after installation just chokes when init is starting. I heard someone mention that there is a bug in 7.2 that requires you to disable the primary slave drive in BIOS when installing 7.2. Then download and install a patch of some sort before enabling the slave drive again. Is this so, and could someone point me to where I might find the solution to this? I tried to search for this in the archives here, but could not find anything. Mandrake 7.1 installs just fine on the same box, but I ran into similar problems when I opted for 'disk optimization' during the installation. Boot got stuck when 'preparing disk optimization for /dev/hdf'. This leads me to suspect there is some problems with having a slave drive when installing 7.2? BTW, None of the drives are 'contaminated' with Windoze. -- Cheers! ====== Rune Kallhovd, CORENA Norge AS ====== = Software Engineer = = P.O.Box 1024, N-3601 Kongsberg, NORWAY = = Tlf: +47 32 73 7448, Fax: +47 32 73 6877 = == CORENA Home Page: http://www.corena.no ==
