I hate to tell you this, but you very well may have a hardware conflict
on this particular machine. It's quite possibly your hard drive. There
are some changes in the HCL between Mandrake 7.0 and 7.1 that you may
want to check on at the Mandrake site. I seem to remember some talk of
this problem here on the list sometime back. If I remember correctly WD
hdd's were the point of the discussion.
