I am having problems installing mandrake 8.0 on a dell inspiron 8000 laptop. It fails to boot after the install - stopping when it gets to the filesystem. It detects its reiser or ext2 (whichever I installed at the time) and then "This does not look like a reiser file system" and kernel panic, no root filesystem. I have tried the 2.2.19, 2.4.3 kernels, all the same. Also, mdk7.2 failed to install(locked solid at the testing pcmcia stage) The rescue kernel on the cdrom allows the filesystem to be mounted and browsed with no problems, so I presume there is some argument to lilo needed (grub will not install). There are some items on Linux-laptop about this model, but nothing usefully mandrake specific, or mentioning this type of problem. BillK
