Im really having some diffaculties loading MDK 8.0. Here is the system.

ASUS P2B-DS mobo w/1024mb sdram

Two 450MHz Intel PII cpu's

Matrox G400 dual head video card

Intel 10/100 NIC

24X10X40 IDE CD-RW

Seagate ST32171W SCSI UW /dev/sdc

Two Seagate ST34371WC SCSI SCA Drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdb Im using a 80 pin 
to 68 pin adapter on these.

With MDK 7.1 Once installed I get a Kernel Panic cant mount the FS                     
 

With MDK 7.2 it installed just fine and sees both cpu's and all the ram

With MDK 8.0 it gets to the software install phase and just sits there. I can 
format and partion the hd's. It accesses the cdrom ocasionaly and also the 
hd's but it does not update the graphical I could wait for a couple of hours 
but doubt its going to install anything. Im thinking to let it decide what 
partions to put on each drive then try one last time to install.
