[newbie] Install Mandrake 7.02 - install lockup with a Adaptec 2040u2w
I am trying to install 7.02 and it always locks up after it detects my Adaptec 2940u2w and tries to install the driver. Machine infoMotherboard - Abit BP6 with 2 400 CelronsAdaptec 2940u2w, 400h, interrupt 5, id 7256 meg ramthree scsi drives and jazz drivesoundblaster liveATI 128 w/ 32 meg ramNetgear FA310TX ethernet all the above works fine under NT4. I have tried to go the expert route but I am not sure that I ever got all the settings right, since I have not been able to find out where the settings are documented. The install starts normally, finds the card and identifies it correctly, but locks when trying to load the driver for it. If I force it skip loading the driver, the install continues on until it comes time to select the location to install and there are no drives to load it on. (As would be expected.) Thanks in advance for your help suggestions. Del

You might need the latest bios for the card too. Check to see if there is a readme with info on the CD.
