I have had problems installing Mandrake on an IBM Netfinity 5000 dual Pentium II since Mandrake 8.0 beta. I just tried with the latest MandrakeFreq, and still have the problem. The problem comes when it tries to probe my built-in AIC-7895, where it hangs just after identifying the first one of these (I can still press ctrl-alt-del for a reboot). If I use the kernel 2.2.19 based alternative installer floppy from the CD, then it works OK. I have run into problems with the SMP kernel as well, but the single-cpu kernel works OK after installation. Povl H. Pedersen
