Installing with 2.2.19, it should install the kernel22 package,
doesn't it boot?

Two solutions:

- start with "linux expert" and load the loop.o module when
  prompted for a SCSI module, before the aic7xxx

        or

- mount the CD, extract the loop.o module with packdrake from
  Mandrake/mdkinst/lib/modules.cz-2.2.19-BADZ5 and load it
