You may have pieces of 8.0 uninstalled because the 7.2 package was one and the 8.0 equivalent was 3 packages. As a general rule, I make separate /usr/local and /home and /var directories, and just install a new version without formatting those partitions. I use the update install in special circumstances for the SAME version. For example, if I want to do a minimal install, build special filesystems then bring in the rest of the system, I use the update install to do it. Update install is also a great way to implement MandrakeFreq images. Anyway--one of your CDs is pointed to hdd and it should be to scd1... further hdd=ide-scsi should be in each of your append lines for linux bootable systems. This may help the supermount quite a bit. You use Control Center--Boot Configuration for the appends and you do this for the link, as root. (from a terminal in superuser mode) cd /dev && rm cdrom2 -f && ln -s scd1 cdrom2 Next do an lsmod and make certain ide-scsi id listed. If it is not, then post to me the output of cat /etc/modules.conf And I'll give you a fix. Civileme
