Anytime frame on the next kernel? I am curious on how long I will be
forced to use windows.

I have just tried installing mandrake9.1 beta3 with no succes. The same error
occurs:
An error occurred
mkinitrd failed
When i click ok the next error follows:
An error occurred
unknown bootloader method
This error loops infinitely and i am stuck with rebooting the machine. I cant
find a way of booting into mandrake. Setting the linux partition active does
not result in mandrake loading. There is a complaint that there is nothing to
boot in this partition.

Hi,
I was running mandrake 8.2 and decided to upgrade to mandrake 9.1 beta 2. I
downloaded MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD1.i586.iso and
MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD2.i586.iso. The check sum was correct so I burned them
onto cd, rebooted the computer and chose to upgrade when prompted. Everything
worked fine until the installation reached the bootloader section. The
following error was reported:
Installation of bootloader failed. The following error occured:
: Fatal: open /dev/hda: No such file or directory
No options were given to correct this problem. I rebooted the machine and tried
using rescue to install lilo. This failed with the same error. Rescue was able
to restore the windows bootloader and I am currently using windows xp. I have
tried repeating the update several times and the same error occurs. I have not
found a way to boot linux.
I have a 60gb hard drive. 30gb is dedicated to linux and 30gb for windows.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Seamus Carroll
