I had/have the same problem. There is no way around this bug. I even
tried passing the information to mandrake at the boot prompt
boot: linux ide2=0xac400,0xb800 (or whatever your drive info is)
and Mandrake 7.1 beta would not accept it. It was confirmed that it
is a bug and there is no fix as of yet.

Just to let you know, 7.0 did allow you to install on your ata/66
drive but it was *NOT* using ata/66 support. In order to do this,
you need to get a patch, and get kernel 2.2.13 (2.2.14 has some
known issues with ata/66 support). If you want to know how
to enable this, let me know and I will give you a web page that
is at home.
