I had posted to the list before about having strange install problems with
mandrake 6.1
After reinstalling several times and swaping out almost all hardware I
finally got it working.
Background:
Install system Dell optiplex gxpro w/ pentium pro. 128 megs ram.
27 gig maxtor ultra 66 drive, connected w/ regular ide cable to built in
ide controller.
I will install the promise ultra66 when the driver isn't beta..
Adaptec scsi 2940
Plextor ultraplex 40x *** This is the DEVIL!!! ***
Removed scsi cdrom and installed a regular atapi 8x cdrom reader...
System installed properly.
My thoughts are that this ultraplex is reading/corrupting install files...
Any comments?
Bob
