Well this isn't really help, but you *might* consider pulling devices/hardware in different combinations, and see if that makes any difference(s)...

Have you tried making boot disks from file:/mnt/cdrom/images/alternatives on the install CD? Several problems related to flaky signals are overcome by one of those install kernels Civileme
[expert] LM 8.0 installation freezes
I have a problem installing either RH 7.1 or Mandrake 8.0. In either case, installation never really starts. I'm allowed to choose installation mode, after which the initial boot system is loaded from the CD ROM and the hardware system is checked over. However, when it comes time for the installation utility to come up, the system just hangs. For example, in Mandrake 8.0 installation, I finally get a message about drinking eggs and welcome to linux mandrake. Then the system completely freezes. Selection of any other installation mode, such as expert, rescue, or text all lead to a freeze up at the same point. RH 7.1 exhibits the same behavior. I had no problems at all installing RH 7.0 or Mandrake 7.2 on the same system. I`m using an Abit VP6 dual processor motherboard, with 2 P-III 800`s, 3 HDD`s (windows installed on 1), a cdrom, and a cd-rw. Using an SB Live sound card, and an Asus AGP-7100 graphics card. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Steve === Steven Bradtke [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===
