I also have a A7V. There is no problem with Mandrake, except a bug with Lilo
:
I use the hd on the Promise to boot (hde), and, if hda is present, and even
if I select hde as boot device, lilo installs "fine", but at boot I get a
"LI" message. And so I have to unplug my hda drive and reinstall Lilo (and
by the way I can't boot on hda via Lilo)
