[expert] RPM simply doesn't work

[Christian A Str�mmen [Number1/NumeroUno]]

I have reinstalled Mandrake 7.2 on my system (formated the partition and 
installed over it), but now I can't seem to install anything with rpm.  All 
rpm packages I try to install cause my system to start working intensively, 
the disk(s) work like they never have before and I can't do anything, not 
even kill the rpm process.  I left my computer one time when installing an 
rpm (to see if it would "finish"), when I got back 7 hours later the system 
was still working.  The only solution seems to reboot the system by pressing 
the reset switch.

Anybody that has any clue what might be wrong here?
