I get this error with Mandrake 7.2 beta as well.
However, this machine is currently running Mandrake 7.1.
I have an Epox MVP based Socket 7 system. I also have a Tekram
U2 card attached to the system. However, the card is not currently
in use.
Also on the system.
Hauppauge WinTV 401
Voodoo 3
Linksys LNE100TX NIC
20G IBM Deskstar ATA disk.
Pioneer 10X DVD drive (atapi)
Phillips CDD3610 CDrw (atapi,scsi emulated)
Soundblaster 16/IDE (nonpnp)
I also have a USB keyboard, mouse & joystick (all generica)
as well as a 4-port hub that they all attach to.
BTW, will 7.2 include USB support in the installer itself?
I didn't experience any USB mouse support in the 7.1
installer and navigating Mandrake's installer with
just the keyboard was rather tedious.
