Hi, Mandrake experts:
I'm not sure of being an expert myself, although I've installed a number of 7.0
and 7.1 Mandrakes in different machines, but now I'm stuck.
I've got a PIII (700Mhz, 128MB RAM) with a Soltek SL-65FV+ motherboard and VIA
chipsets (Apollo Pro 133). The hard disk is a Seagate ST313021A (13GB, wtih
UDMA66, but configured for UDMA33). The installation process hangs at the point
of partitioning the disk, and in the console, message is
hda: nonIDE disk
I hate to say this, but the machine works with W98.
Any clue? Should I investigate more? Should I put the blame on the chipset or
on the hard disk? I'm at the point of rejecting the machine and ordering a good
old BX chipset, or a 2GB disk.
Thanks in advance,
Luis Seidel
