I just tried to upgrade to Mandrake 8.1 beta (but I had the same problem with 8.0) to fix some problems I was having with x windows. After having installed Mandrake successfully, I needed to add a network card to my setup, a 3com 905 series card. It was working fine under Mandrake 7.0. What happens is this, I turn the box on, it boots up, does the Harddrake probe, then goes into the detected new hardware. I hit enter to configure the device, it tells me it is about to, then the screen goes blank and nothing happens. I can reboot the computer with ctl-alt-del and that's about it. I don't have any trouble running X from the command line, if I skip the detecting new hardware stage. Any advice? Ryan Steffes
