as i understand it.. one of the differences might be the way the 2.4.x kernel
handles USB. could it be in theses servers? a USB and serial port irq
conflict?

Hello all,
I have a bit of a problem.
My company has several high-volume servers running Mandrake Linux, and
all have been recently upgraded to 8.0 with no problems. However, on the
two Compaq 1850r (Pentium III 550, Intel chipset) I was just sent, 8.0
will not install. 7.2 installs without a hitch, but 8.0 hardlocks on
Probing serial ports. Nothing is connected to the external ports,
however both machines to have built-in remote consoles. I have done my
best to make sure they are disabled.
They are up and running fine, so this isn't a big issue, but I would
like to be able to upgrade them at some point. Compaq is clueless, and
frankly so am I at this point. So any insights would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Karl Davenport
