same. Thanks for steering me in the right direction, and for the
valuable hard drive info. (I assembled this machine long before I even
considered Linux.)

Disabling usb in the BIOS resolved the problem

Hi,
I have Mandrake Linux 8.2 bluebird-i586 20020317 12:00 which is the downloadeble
version,i guess.When i boot from the cd to install with the default kernel 2.4.18 the
machine hangs at the partition check process.I waited a long time,more than 20
minutes and did not
install.Some other guy asked me about my filesystem but it just doesn't make
sense,-who knows?
