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
