[newbie] Ya don't know ehat you got til its gone
I had ML 9.0 running dual boot with XP on a Mach speed mobo P4 2.5 ghz cpu and a 90 GB IBM hitachi HDD. All was well and good. I just went to wipe out the whole ML installation installation and replace it with ML 10.0.2 and it hangs on formatting HDE7. I tried a ML 10.0 CD and it uung at the same point again I next tried the same thing with ML 9.0 and all went well. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be.

TIA Marc List your hardware, be descriptive, and put all that plus your problem in a bugzilla report. I don't know if you are running MDK10 or the newer rawer 10.1 community, but if you are trying to load MDK10 I wouldn't bother. Your time would be better served loading 10.1 community and submitting bug reports on installation problems BEFORE the release goes official. From what I understand, RC2 and RC3 steps have been skipped, and the RC1 release has been labeled the community release, which is the last release before official. So you don't have alot of time; none of us do really, to whip this last release into shape for our hardware. The place to enter bugs is here: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/enter_bug.cgi The link for stable versions is there also. Like I said tho I wouldn't waste any time with MDK10, you have alot more leverage right now with MDK Community. LX Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Try with one of the alternate installaiton kernels. Maybe the install kernel is having trouble with your chipset IDE controller and needs something more vanilla and safer. Hit F1 at the splash and specify one of the alternate kernels, I think they are listed. TIA Marc List your hardware, be descriptive, and put all that plus your problem in a bugzilla report.

Which won't solve the underlying problem mdk10 has with his hardware and also won't get his hardware registered and working with the newer versions of MDK.
