I've just gotten past some "problems" installing Mandrake 7.2. I first tried upgrading my 7.1 installation and wound up with a buggy mess. Then I thought about it and decided to put the files I wanted to save into my /home directory, which I have as a separate partition. Then I could do a new installation while NOT reformatting the /home partition. This idea worked great; the information in /home was not erased. Then I found the newly-installed 7.2 hanging on boot with the SMP kernel. The problem turned out to be hardware; I still had one old standard IDE ribbon cable in my setup. I replaced it with a UDMA66 cable and that solved the problem. Onward! Steve Stephen B. Browne [EMAIL PROTECTED]
