I have spent a week downloading Linux Mandrake Version
7.2.iso which I have
duly used to create a bootable cd-rom. I have tried it on 2 AMD 500 machines and a Celeron 600
without success.
On one of the AMDs it just locks up part way through
the white letters on
black screen boot. On the other AMD it gets as far as initialising CD ROM and then locks up On the Celeron it did not get as far as this until I made the cd the master drive and then it gets as far as Initialising CD ROM before freezing with the message: Kernel panic VFS; unable to mount root fs on 1:03 I had previously installed version 7 on the Celeron. This was successful apart from the cd drive not being recognised and desktop loading up slowly and I (mistakenly) thought that upgrading to version 7.2 would solve these problems!
