------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-12-09 12:11 ------- I tested with Mandrake-9.2 RC2 and the installation still hangs at the harddrive detection with the same errors as the RC1. I retested installation with Mandrake-9.1 and it worked. You see, there is a serious bug somewhere in Mandrake-9.2. I attach some additional information about the machine. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: The Installation failes at the hard drive detection step.

I did install many other Linux distros on this machine (Debian, Redhat) and also Mandrake-9.1 on this machine without any problem. There must be something wrong with MDK-9.2... Greetings Ronny
