I've seen same progress bars after installation when booting Mandrake and when shutting down and there it doesn't go over the right limit. Still the same in Beta 2. -- Live long and prosper!

If you press F1 for advanced options, there is a delay of at least 20 second with nothing to show but a blank screen.

It also doesn't need the scsi_hostadapter in the initrd, because it boots off an IDE drive. Bootloader is installed on another drive. Is there something I can do to figure out why it's doing that? -- -- Igor
