You know...if I didn't know better I'd say you both were trying to install Mandrake on Celeron processor machine with Western Digital hard drives. It's a hardware issue. You may want to look at the drives, or the chipsets on the mobo's themselves. Celerons and mandrake aren't known to get along all that well. Pure Pentium chips and AMD's fair much better. And yes, I know that Celeron chips are Intel, however, they're _not_ Pentiums. -- Mark / * Sometimes it becomes necessary to rock the boat * in order to get the rats up from below decks * so they can be kicked over the side and drowned! * * REGISTERED LINUX USER # 182496 */ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<*REPLY SEPERATOR*>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> On Mon, 27 Nov 2000 EagleIce had this to say! > I've been having this very same problem at work and I haven't found a > solution 'yet'.
