I dont know, I wonder if something with lilo
may have changed. I have seen other posts on
Mandrakes mailing lists that people cant make
a bootdisk and/or lilo wont install for them
Do we all have some other problem....
I don't know what other problem I could have.
The system is a PII-450, 256M RAM, TV Card,
3Com 905b, SB Live, Supra Express 56k,
Giga-byte Mobo, Matrox G450, Optical mouse
(ps/2 or USB). I have never had a problem with
installing Mandrake on hdc. hda = win 6.4G
hdb = zip 100 hdc = linux 6.4G hdd = sony cdrw
Recently added a Adaptec 2930 and (2) 4.3
Western Digital "Enterprise" drives sda, sdb
Actually Redhat would not install lilo correct
but did make a usable boot disk.
Mandrake on the other hand put files to the
disk, but was not bootable at all.
Running system diagnostics software on the pc
-- all tests pass, all circuits are fine. I
dont hold total faith in any sw prog for
system diags, but...

You must have some other problem. I have very non-standard setup (CDROMs
on hda & b, and IDE drivex on hdc (windows) and hdc (linux). I have both
MDK 7.2 & 8.0 on hdd (the secondary). No install problems related to disk
placement.
